Cort, I'm trying to use my card, but when I look at the page it just looks like a sea of words!" That's when I decided to make an app to help her, an app that became "The Sounding Out Machine - Assistive Reading Device." My first goal was to help her get through the "sea of words" so she could focus on her challenging word. She grew increasingly frustrated, and finally told me, "Mr. I was coaching her in using her index card to figure out a difficult word. Let them know if you find a word that should be included!ĭavid Cort - FizzBrain I remember sitting with a student some years ago, a student who has dyslexia.

Fizzbrain will continue to expand the dictionary, it already has with several suggests from TWA. This app has a comprehensive dictionary of over 80,000 words, including multiple forms for each root, ("reply" "replies" "replying") and names ("Huggins," "Lorax"). Another cool feature is that the keyboard is a snap to switch from qwerty or ABC-order keyboard. FizzBrain has made this card/box simple to customize by giving choices of multiple colors, sizes and shapes that easily adjust to fit the given font size. TWA loves the customizable digital card/box for tracking the text as they read, in the same way, they might use an index card or the old-fashioned E.Z.C Reading Strips to concentrate on each word or a line of text. The Sounding Out Machine emails a report of your child/students challenging words to parents or teachers giving an account of words looked up each session and this list and can be used for data collection, further instruction, re-teaching, or for creating personal word lists for their students or child. Typing mode - type in challenging words.
