Speech synthesis supported Thomas in reading the teacher's entry fluently and in catching his errors in spelling and sentence formation. Word prediction supported correct spelling and expanded vocabulary usage. In addition, every word used by the teacher was added to the dictionary in the word-prediction software, and words used by the student appeared in the dictionary with their spelling corrected by the teacher. Thus, all the vocabulary used in the dialogue journal was available for easy use by the student in responding to the teacher. Mrs. A. Thomas's response.
Frogs are fast.
I can allmost catch a frog. I see tiny tadpoles. I don't know if I like them. They seem a bit scary. Mrs. A. Thomas's response.
