Speaking Books As Transformational Tools
March 31, 2008 10:13 am MiscellaneousThe speaking books are innovative interactive tools consisting of 16 pages of culturally appropriate illustrations or photographs supported by straightforward and easy to understand text. Each book is individually tailored to suit a communities particular requirements and language choice.
For each page there is a corresponding push button that plays the sound track, which is read by well-known local celebrity, so whatever the level of literacy, the information will be seen, read, and heard, resulting in a clearly understood message.
This represents a major breakthrough in presenting complex health issues. For the first time, people with low literacy, or pre-school children, are now able to access vital health care information through this multi-lingual and highly effective learning tool.
