Tap and Say It at a glance.
Roll out the red carpet for every word! In Tap and Say It, the words hidden in an Articulation Scenes picture take the spotlight one at a time, each with its picture and recording. The student listens, says the word, and you score it correct, almost or try again; every word earns a star on the Walk of Fame, and you can see where it hides in the scene. That's a wrap! sorts the words by how they went, so the almost and try-again words can be practiced again. 75 scenes cover the English consonants, blends and vocalic /r/.
