Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How can I make a consonant join all the vowels and
then hear the sounds together automatically?
First choose the consonant or consonant blend you want to hear.
By using the mouse at the chosen consonant and dragging it onto
the vowel for example the letter “a” you are actively using the keyboard.
Click when you see the consonant joined to the vowel in colour grey.
To hear the sounds joined automatically together you click on the blue
start button again.
The start button is also used to stop whenever you wish.
You are in charge.
Q2. Can I listen to any sound of consonants or
consonant blends separatly, one by one?
Yes you can. You can listen to all the letters on the
keyboard separatly. You only have to click on the chosen
button. A picture also apears that reminds you of the
sound being the first letter in the word of the picture.
You can click onto the picture and hear the word pronounced.
Q3. Is it possible to practice the vowels separately?
Yes, and that is also a very good beginning.
You can click whatever button you decide and
hear the sound as often as you choose.
You can also listen to all the vowels systematically
and choose from two different kinds of pictures that
will appear while indicating sounds:
Pictures presenting the vowel as the first letter in words.
Pictures that show you how to position your mouth when
the sound is pronounced. It is like looking in a mirror at the
mouth while pronouncing the vowel.
Q4. Does every letter or letter-blend in the program
include more than one word to listen to?
Yes, indeed. You are actively opening the vocabulary frame
when you decide to practice a letter-sound and click the mouse
the right hand side. You can listen to a few words for every chosen
letter or letter-blend and read on the screen.
