Tiger's Tale<br />

Laureate Learning Systems, Inc 100.325<br />

This engaging program stimulates language production by encouraging students to "talk" for a Tiger who has lost<br />

his voice. Preschool <strong>and</strong> elementary students alike will delight in recording their voices to create their very own<br />

movies.<br />

Product Description:<br />

In this exciting program, Tiger has lost his voice <strong>and</strong> needs help looking for it. Children "talk" for Tiger <strong>and</strong> their<br />

voices are recorded to create a movie. When they're finished, they can watch their movies <strong>and</strong> hear themselves<br />

speaking for Tiger.<br />

Engaging Conversations<br />

During Tiger's search, a variety of animated characters appear <strong>and</strong> ask children questions to elicit their thoughts,<br />

suggestions, <strong>and</strong> opinions. Conversations are developed using your child's voice along <strong>with</strong> other pre-recorded<br />

voices.<br />

Training Opportunities<br />

Tiger's Tale is an ideal springboard for accomplishing a variety of therapeutic goals. A clinician can model a<br />

response for the child, ask the child to imitate it, decide whether the recording should be saved or not, <strong>and</strong> finally<br />

playback the child's utterance. This gives children the oportunity to use <strong>and</strong> practice a variety of language<br />

structures <strong>and</strong> functions in a motivating, yet non-threatening environment.<br />

Non-verbal alternative<br />

If a child is asked a question <strong>and</strong> does not record an answer, there is the option to click on one of the characters<br />

<strong>and</strong> the scene will continue. This allows a child who initially refuses to speak to interact <strong>with</strong> the program <strong>and</strong><br />

gradually increase the number of replies he or she records for Tiger.<br />

A Rewarding Experience<br />

In the final scene of Tiger's Tale, students click on various objects to find Tiger's voice. Afterwards, they can<br />

watch the movie <strong>and</strong> hear their own voices speaking for Tiger. These "home" movies, which can be saved for<br />

future viewing, are not only entertaining, but also enable students to measure their progress over time.<br />
