摘要:
This invention is an interactive learning device in the form of an open book (10) for toddlers and preschoolers, having a plurality of embodiments. In one embodiment the book has three-dimensional letters of the alphabet (26, 30, 31, 32) received by a card (33, 34, 39) that spells a word. The card (33, 34, 39) is adapted to be placed in the book (10) and a speech processor circuit recites the word written therein and sounds the phonic associated with each phoneme in the word when the child places the correct alphabet letters in the card, and repeats the entire word. In a second embodiment the book acts as a simple translator. In a third embodiment the book teaches elementary mathematical operation. In a fourth embodiment the child may learn the sounds and names associated with various animals, and may also translate the animal names. A plurality of shapes and colors may also be represented by cards (33, 34, 39, 40, 64, 72) and indicia bearing units (26, 30, 31, 32, 68, 77).
摘要:
A technique for aiding in literacy development is presented. The technique includes an apparatus, method, system, and computer program product using Word Things to build on a foundation of language development and bring users (e.g., children) toward a world of literacy. The Word Things are comprised of a set of linguistic characters formed such that when the linguistic characters are arranged to form a word, the word forms a shape representative of an object represented by the word. In animated versions, the Word Things interact in a Word World environment, making letters, phonics and words come alive in a new and unique way by giving them a physicality that enhances appeal and comprehension.

A business education model in which players may simulate the running of a company with the amounts and types of assets, liabilities and future commitments, contingent liabilities, of a company or other business enterprise being shown through the number, colour and positions of symbols and markers on a board. The board is marked out with areas representing business premises or factory plant, areas for stocking bought raw material, tokens to represent values of raw material and goods for sale, cash and debts, these different tokens being preferably of a similar size but of different colours so that it can readily be appreciated what they represent, with their value being apparent by their total. The board also includes areas for illustrating the expense of the equipment and manning of plant, for processing cash and loans, for showing the costs of building up a marketing force and for containing tokens showing overhead expenditures incurred in the running of the model business.

A device for playing an associative game, comprises a body (2) with a playing surface (5), the playing surface (5) having a plurality of answer areas (9), over which an answer picture (14) associated with a possible answer can be shown, and a plurality of verification areas (10), over which a verification picture (15) associated with a question can be shown. The device further comprises a support structure (16), comprising a number of reception sites for receiving an answer object (18) with a unique appearance, associated with a question. In a first position of the support structure (16), an answer object (18) placed at a reception site is situated in the vicinity of a corresponding answer area (9). The support structure (16) is moveable across the playing surface (5) between the first and a second position, in which each answer object at a reception site is situated in the vicinity of a corresponding verification area (10) on the playing surface (5) .
