Focus on Feelings Book: Each of the 19 lessons opens with a title and text to introduce the story, followed by a symbol-supported dictionary of emotions page. Every page of the four-page story is a new scene, depicted with color photographs and text to illustrate the situation. Each story page also features a multiple-choice “How do I feel?” question, which requires the student to correctly identify, by facial expression, the character’s likely response. Following the stories are two pages of symbol-supported review material and activities.
Focus on Feelings Software: Software reads the stories aloud to students with professional narration. Text is highlighted word by word, line by line or by complete sentence. Graphics are plentiful, contemporary and age-appropriate. A test at the end of each story provides speech support and an optional hint feature that directs students to the page that addresses each question. Students can access the software by mouse, touch screen, or single or double switch. A unified management system helps the teacher quickly review or print out student performance data. Teachers can determine reading lists and set options that best suit each student's learning style. Choose word-by-word or natural speech narration, select the text highlighting approach and assign tests.
