The talking interactive storybook follows the story "Kneejerk Meets the Aliens" in Module 1 of the ALS resources. The book is divided into two sections:
  • Talking Storybook
  • Interactive sentence construction
The Talking Storybook section contains text and graphics taken directly from the ALS Module 1 book. The book contains simple animations and speech to allow the child to read the book, see the characters move and hear the story. In this way the child has the opportunity to experience alternative ways of enjoying the story and clarifying word sounds.

The interactive sentence construction section of the book follows the storybook section. This section contains the same animation and speech options as the talking book pages, but also includes a selection of interactive buttons. The interactive buttons will speak as the cursor is moved over them; they can also be placed anywhere on screen by clicking, and holding,  the right mouse button. To help the children a yellow box has been placed on the screen enabling the children to position the words on a line so that the sentence can be heard by moving the  cursor across the words.
