What is ABC Maestro?
ABC Maestro is a pedagogical-rehabilitation program for learning to read, write and use the keyboard that matches perfectly with Clevy products. It consists of activities for learning letters, words and numbers. The activities follow traditional literacy methods, but offer a more innovative and comprehensive approach to learning through learning to use the keyboard.
Who is ABC Maestro intended for?
ABC Maestro is primarily intended for children with difficulties who are learning to read, write and use the keyboard, but it can be used by all children who are just getting to know letters and numbers.
Users with visual impairments and users with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia will greatly benefit from the clear and transparent visual appearance of the program and the possibility of connecting the heard voice with a written letter or word .
The improvement of learning letters on the keyboard is also visible in the possibility that users with difficulties in psychomotor development can participate in this process, because it does not require the acquisition of certain graphomotor skills, and the positive side is greater motivation and attention of the user.
How does ABC Maestro work?
During the initial stages of all games, users have learning support in the form of markings on the virtual keyboard or a written template of the required letter in the circle for writing letters, i.e. they are given exact instructions about where the key to be pressed is located and at what time.
The ABC Maestro program offers individualized settings that can be fully customized for each user, depending on their needs. The tasks are graded from easier to more difficult, and appropriate feedback is provided after each answer.
Why do children and teachers love ABC Maestro?
Literacy of children with disabilities can be very demanding and sometimes slow, and ABC Maestro can serve therapists, teachers and parents as a faster, alternative approach to teaching writing and reading. With the Clevy keyboard and working on a computer, the ABC Maestro program fits perfectly into "step-by-step" learning in a specially designed world full of fun tasks and cheerful colors that greatly influence the motivation and interest of children.
Some of the key rehabilitative significance of ABC Maestro in the education of children with disabilities include reducing the time of learning the position of letters on the keyboard and the simplicity of teaching the relationship and difference of voice and symbol , and accelerating the creation of prerequisites for the development of reading and writing skills.
ABC Maestro comes bundled with a convenient monitoring and reward system for each child's attempt and success so that the therapist, teacher or parent will be able to monitor the child's progress and the development of reading and writing skills with the help of appropriate stickers.
