Focus on Feelings Software features stories that are read aloud to the student by professional narrators. Text is highlighted by word, by line, or by complete sentence. The graphics are plentiful, contemporary, and age-appropriate. A comprehension test at the end of each story is read aloud to the user, allowing for many hours of independent study. An optional hint feature directs the user to the answer page to check responses. The student can access the software with or without your help by mouse, touchscreen, IntelliKeys, or single switch. A unified management system helps you quickly review or print out user performance data. You can determine reading lists and set the options that best suit the student's learning style. Choose speech narration either word-by-word or as naturally occurring speech. Then select the text highlighting approach and assign tests.
