Grades K - 4. Help young children along the path to literacy with the WhisperPhone® Element. The WhisperPhone® uses an acoustic feedback tool that quickly transmits the sound of a child's voice to their ear. The WhisperPhone amplifies the child's voice directly to their ear, providing clear auditory feedback. The immediate auditory feedback encourages better enunciation and fluency, which are critical components of effective reading. This enables them to hear themselves reading and minimizes distracting noises so they can focus. This elevated focus will enable children to make significant strides toward literacy. The WhisperPhone provides a private and non-judgmental way for children to practice speaking and reading aloud, helping them become more comfortable with their voice and more willing to participate in classroom discussions and activities.

Delineates procedures, materials, and criteria for administering the subscales for each developmental domain of the LAP™-D in order to ensure reliable results. One copy of each manual is included in each LAP™-D kit along with a CD of the Spanish manuals for you to print as needed from your computer. © 2005
