Then this device is for you!</div><div><br></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> Suitable for first or second language acquisition for any age student, the Anybook Reader is an amazing new device that</div><div> allows you to read to a student without your even being there! Shaped like a fat pen or pencil which houses a recording</div><div> device with mini speaker playback capabilities, it runs on 2 AAA batteries and records up to 15 hours of audio - enough</div><div> for a favourite book, enough for 50 books!</div><div><br></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> Is it easy to use? VERY! </div><div><br></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> Here are the basics:</div><div><br></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> Step 1: The first step includes picking a book and placing one of the included AnyBook stickers on each of the pages. </div><div> Each sticker uses a unique code which allows you to associate different recordings with every page of your book. Don't</div><div> worry, these stickers use special glue that won’t damage your book so you can remove the stickers at any time. You cannot</div><div> record on the pre-recorded stickers but the blank stickers may be erased and re-recorded so that you can continue to</div><div> update and use them.</div><div> </div><div> Step 2: You then activate the sticker by touching it with the AnyBook reader device.</div><div> </div><div> Step 3: Next, you enter record mode and record that page.</div><div> </div><div> Repeat Steps 2 & 3 for the remainder of the book.</div><div> </div><div> Step 4: Done! Allow your students to use the AnyBook Reader to hear the recorded book.</div><div> </div><div> The Anybook Reader can be applied very easily to the other areas of the classroom. Students can progress independently</div><div> with aural exercises without following the rest of the class, or indeed groups of students can work together using the</div><div> device. The Anybook Reader encourages independent learning that a teacher can oversee by preparing the audio content in</div><div> advance. The advantages for a student’s language & pronunciation skills after using this device are endless. What about</div><div> talking dioramas?</div><div><br></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Eap7FIe63jU/TP46heDDOOI/AAAAAAAAGOk/61CER7O7Lyo/s1600/DAS-200B.detail.a.jpg">http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Eap7FIe63jU/TP46heDDOOI/AAAAAAAAGOk/61CER7O7Lyo/s1600/DAS-200B.detail.a.jpg</a> Each Any book reader</div><div> already comes with 200 stickers - some have pre-recorded sound effects such as sirens, telephones ringing etc but if that</div><div> is too childish in your situation don’t use those! The beauty of this device is that it is suitable for anyone!! - but</div><div> additional packs of stickers are also available separately so that you can use the Anybook Reader again and again.</div><div><br></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> Need some suggestions?</div><div><br></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> In the classroom:</div><div><br></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> · One of our ESL teacher customers has bought one for each year level and intends to send the Reader home with the</div><div> students to encourage them to ‘read’ at home. His thoughts are that not only the students but also their ESL parents could</div><div> benefit from this activity.</div><div> </div><div> · Why limit yourself to books? The Anybook reader can just as easily be used with posters, with reading cards,</div><div> with anything!! Record the question, and then have another sticker to record the answer? Makes all work self-correcting,</div><div> and time saving as well!</div><div> </div><div> · If you like, you could have several readings of the same story at several speeds or in different languages, all</div><div> recorded easily and economically.</div><div> </div><div> · This is a great tool for speech therapy and to use with a student with learning and/or language delays.</div><div> </div><div> · Because students with language issues often have a component of auditory comprehension problems, books are a</div><div> good way to teach language because they offer visual reinforcement as well as auditory input. The AnyBook reader allows</div><div> you to modify a book to pare down the language or focus on a concept and then gives the student the independence to "read"</div><div> that book on their own. This can be very motivating for a student who is working on their language comprehension skills.</div><div> </div><div> In the home:</div><div> </div><div> · Use it at home. If you are a mother of more than one, it makes it possible for ‘Mummy’ to be reading two</div><div> different stories at once (you and the pen!) It also makes it possible for a Daddy gone on a business trip to still be</div><div> involved with story time too. When children's grandparents travel they can each record stories for bedtime as well. </div><div> What fun!</div><div> </div><div> · Or what about using this reader with children who share their time between two different parents at two</div><div> different homes or for a child who's parent is in the military?</div><div> </div><div> · And why not use the device for your scrapbooks, baby books, yearbooks, & photo albums. Record your memories to</div><div> go along with the different photos and mementos. How good it that!</div><div><br></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> If this information tempts you to get your own reader,</div><div> </div><div> then don’t hesitate.</div><div> </div><div> If you order now, you will get the pen plus the 200 stickers included in the pack,</div><div> </div><div> plus 600 free stickers as a special offer.</div><div><br></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> 15 hour Unit $75.00. 600 Replacement Stickers usually $29.95, free with each pen ordered until sold until end of March.</div><div> Postage extra.</div><div><br></div><div> </div><div><br></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> Nominated for the Telstra 2010 and 2012 Business Awards</div><div> </div><div> Please note that we have our own parking.
