A while ago I made this Crayon's page for Megan where she could use a web browser to draw. Recently she has been all about words. She will say a string of letters, then I'll tell her what that sounds like. Usually it's just gibberish. But I figured that she really wants to learn the words. So I developed a new little web application that shows a picture then shows the word below it with the first letter highlighted. As you type each letter in the word a voice tells you the name of the letter. When you finish the word lights up and a little happy sound goes off, then a new word comes up.
It's pretty cute. I showed it to Megan last night and she was really happy with it. A couple of times she would get through a big word and the sound would go off and she was just beaming with glee. I really like that.
Anyway, I won't post it, but if you want a copy let me know and I'll zip it up and send it to you. At the moment it's Firefox only (I think). Plus you need Quicktime installed to play the sounds.
