several selections in blue that follow in the larger box. (Each choice is
heard by a click of the mouse.)
After doing this, students should attempt to match each dark-red word
with a corresponding blue word or phrase. If unable to do so (which will
often be the case), they should simply move to the next word or exercise.
Because both Work on Words workbooks together, as well as the two Play
Onwards workbooks, contain virtually every monosyllabic word in the
English language and many of their numerous meanings, a parent/teacher
should always be near at hand to answer their children’s never-ending
questions.
TTS (Text-to-Speech)
The PDF’s files of the workbooks have a built-in Adobe “Read Out Loud”
feature. (See our website for details to activate and use it.) This feature
enables the reader to click on any word, phrase, or sentence and hear it
pronounced immediately.
The free Natural Reader may be used in lieu of Adobe’s built-in reader.
However, the words must be selected before they are read out loud.
Nevertheless, it has a distinct advantage in that it allows users to see each
word as it is read. (See: http://naturalreaders.com/download.html.)
Natural Reader has another function, an indispensable one. It is to be used
after the user is directed to the online dictionary.com. When online,
however, only parents should use this incredible tool, as it is far too
complicated for young children.
