For Dyslexia and Autism

Here are a few of the features of Jazzles Voconics that are particularly relevant to children with autism and dyslexia:

1. Rich in visuals and subtitle text. Dyslexic and autistic children are often visual thinkers and learners. Jazzles facilitates word-picture associations as well as opportunities to demonstrate abstract concepts such as 'up', 'down', 'hot' etc.
2. Song/singing themed.
3. Rich in kinesthetic and tactile learning opportunities.
4. A-Z themed opportunities for language exercises to promote communication.
5. Better than normal Close Captions or subtitles, Jazzles A-Z animations use Matching Captions where the text closely matches the visualization. Synchronization enables children to read the captions, matching the printed words with sung words.
6. Enables reading skills to be developed using either phonics and/or whole words.
7. Based on themes in the animations, concrete visual methods can be used to cross link other areas of learning. For example there are Beginning Math concepts that apply the themes and objects in every song animation to demonstrate math and its vocabulary.
8. Extensive use of drawing and art.
9. Incorporates use of computers and keyboards.

Jazzles provides SPED children with a variety of rich opportunities to achieve a broader learning of literacy by exploring its lyrical texts in depth through directed themed activities including discussions, drama, dance, drawing, writing and play.

Dear Lesley

"I am Occupational Therapist working with children with intellectual and physical disabilities in mainstream and special schools.

Recently I completed a Fine Motor Skills group with an IO class in a mainstream school, in which I used your audio and coloring worksheets as a basis.

Each week a song was chosen - usually involving an animal. From this song we developed an action song. This was great for warming up our little people's fingers. From the coloring book, we developed craft activities that each week targeted a particular fine motor action.

The response from the children was fantastic. Each week they got involved in the activities and the music and started to develop and build upon their existing skills. In addition it was seen to be extremely calming with the children.

On several occasion we used it as a background and motivator with great success. The teacher who we were working with was keen to gain copies and use it with this group of children due to the response.

Congratulations on developing such a useful, valuable and fun package. I will be using this again with other groups of children."

'When children see, laugh, hear, move and sing,
they remember everything!'

Are Your Special Education Resources
As Visually, Musically, Kinetically
and Tactually Engaging?

1. Animation Example: Blue Bus Blues Click here to see more examples. Visual literacy aids understanding. Expressive facial and body language can be seen and interpreted. Use the Pause Function to freeze frame for highlighting expressions as well as words. Verbal language is practiced by singing. As in every Jazzles song, social aspects are highlighted. For example: Personal responsibility for belongings – how to find lost belongings. What to do if you're feeling 'blue'. Manners on a bus and etiquette when traveling by bus.

Drama, Dance and Mime Jazzles is rich in ways to practice and learn social and verbal skills. Children automatically respond kinetically to the rhythmic music of the Jazzles animations providing opportunities to add body percussion and percussion instruments. Every animation comes with dance routines including creating actions to match the alliterative lyrics as an aid to comprehension. Drama creates an enjoyable environment for Special Needs children and their Peers to collaborate and negotiate, forming friendships and 'buddy' support.	Click picture to play demonstration video
2. Worksheets Aiding Visual Learning Click here to see 6 examples. The strength of Jazzles for Special Education is using visual literacy and 'familiar text' as an easier, more engaging entry point for Literacy and Cross – Curricula Learning. Familiar text is all about building children's confidence in their ability to develop reading skills, providing every support for successful outcomes rather than 'failure'. It works like this: The Jazzles animations engage the child. Words are familiarized by singing along to the animations and following the 'Matching Captions' on screen. Oral language and reading skills, including vocabulary development, are then supported by these integrated literacy – rich Jazzles worksheets and activities – thematically linked directly to the familiar words and concepts stemming from each animation. Learning from 'the known' is a wonderful experience for the teacher and especially the Special Needs students! It is a proven, more logical learning method – saving valuable teaching time and frustration spent on boring rote and 'word lists'! Building Confidence Special Education students will use their memorization of the Jazzles animations and lyrics as their recallable 'canvas of knowledge'. From this, teachers can easily extend learning, showing children how to transfer and apply what they 'already know' to new reading and writing applications. If children know the words, particularly in connected text for meaning, they will find any task involving vocabulary and phonological awareness easier than using unfamiliar words.	Collectively, these worksheets are designed to use Visual, Auditory, Kinetic, Tactual, even Taste and Smell, to achieve engaged, memorable, enjoyable learning outcomes!
Activities and Extensions for Oral Language. See more. Click here. Jazzles 'Multisensory Collage' applies prolifically rich alliterative oral experiences combined with a range of multisensory activities. Often these ideas include the senses of smell, touch and, where possible, taste. It's an activity that increases incidental vocabulary while helping children identify and learn letter shapes, clarify difficult letter shapes (e.g. 'b' and 'd'), understand sound – letter relationships and develop fine motor skills. This example uses black beans! Extend the concept into talking about healthy foods big on nutrition.
3. Upper Case Letter Formation Animation Children always remember the Blue Band characters performing 'acrobatics' to create the uppercase (capital) letters! It's a powerful Mnemonic enabling children to learn Capital Letter shapes with ease. Ask for volunteers to form the shape on the floor. Great fun for everyone and Kinesthetic learners in particular. Extension activities include writing the uppercase letter B (large) in the air and on an electronic whiteboard, demonstrating the correct formational order.	Click picture to play demonstration video
