VisuaLearn
Promotes vocabulary development, sight word acquisition and sentence building.

VisuaLearn offers a simple interface with activities designed for typically developing children, children with Down syndrome or children with visual learning strengths who might benefit from guidance through smaller learning steps.

After choosing a title from the VisuaLearn library, your learner can engage in the following activities:
(1) Read It
Learner can read the book independently or listen to the book by touching the sentence on each page. Words are underlined as read. Learner can also hear key vocabulary words by touching the picture.
(2) Match It
Learner can match picture or word tiles to the same pictures or word tiles on the screen. Picture and word order are randomized to facilitate learning.
(3) Select It
Learner can select words to match a picture prompt and answer the question "what is this picture?"
(4) Name It
Learner can label the picture or read the word based on a visual prompt. Answers can be checked by tapping the picture or word, which then rotates to reveal and say the answer.
(5) Draw a Line
Learner can draw a line to connect words with words or words with pictures.
(6) Build a Sentence
Learner can drag and drop word tiles into the sentence frame to build sentences.

NAVIGATION NOTES:
-Learner is guided at the end of each activity to “Do it again” or “Keep going.” If Learner chooses “Keep going,” he or she will be guided to the next activity.
-Learner can return to library by touching the book icon in the upper left corner.
-Learner can return to the activity page by touching the activity icon in the upper left corner.
