Say what Simon says

چکیده
We are developing a new device which is aimed at supporting non-speaking individuals in literacy learning. The PhonicStick provides direct access to spoken phonics a set of phonemes used in the literacy learning program Jolly Phonics which can then be blended into words. In an initial study, children were able to generate novel words using the first level subset of six phonics. However, the full set of 42 phonics would require considerably more memorising effort. We will present different phonic games which are inspired by "Simon says", a hugely successful memory game in the 80's which generated an increasing sequence of sounds and lights which the player had to memorise and repeat. This will be an interactive session in which the audience will be invited to participate in evaluation and brainstorming activities.

متن کاملIntention and Interpretation
I “WHAT DOES THE LITERARY INTERPRETER do? He tells us what a literary work means.” Thus says Monroe Beardsley, who has written as thoughtfully and influentially on the subject as any philosopher in the past fifty years, and this is as good a place to start as any. Though there may well be ways of embodying interpretations that do not involve saying what something means (for example, reading a p...
متن کاملThe Problem Family
no less vital than his earlier works. Once again he tells us that there are no problem children? only problem parents. Mr. Neill is sincere and alive; he knows what he believes and is not afraid to say so. There is so much that is good in what he says, that it seems a pity he should spoil so much of his work by expressing half-truths in a somewhat dogmatic fashion. Few would disagree with his s...
