Is the V-Tech Alphabet Smartboard the same as the Write and Learn SMartboard?

That's the only one I could find online and I just wondered if that's the one

you're talking about.

thanks

I know you were not asking for advice but since likes the talking and game,

have you heard about the computer program " Teach me spelling? " We ordered it for

Jake because he is the same way. He can spell. It is like his mind takes a

picture of the entire word. He can't sound it out but he can spell it.

You can get this program through the same company that sells Boardmaker.

Re: ARD MEETING AND POTTY TRAINING ISSUES

, I had a teacher tell me I had to accept may never learn

his alphabet or how to write. Well I bought a v-tech Alphabet

Smartboard and we played a game.I asked him to find a letter then I

would show him.After a while he would bring the board to me and pull

on my arm to ask him to find a letter. The board talks and

loves this.Now no matter who ask to find a letter or in what

order he can find the letter. Now has a hard time finding the

letters in Alphabet cards but he is learning.I bought this one 2

years ago at walmart but I have seen them at Toys r us. Maybe this

would help him learn. is motivated by talking toys and I make it

a game. is even attempting with my help to hold the little pen

that comes with this v tech board.What kind of mother would I have

been to take the so called experts word.I hope this helps you. Cyndi

the changing issue. They agreed to change him, blah, blah,blah...so

that's settled. BUT, they showed us schoolwork that is NOT

progressing and that he is on a Pre K level when the requirements of

this school are that they need to be at least on a 1st to 2nd gr.

level. Anyone lower functioning than that, goes to the " other "

school.

the other school has a small no. of students and the teacher has

three assist., which means would get more " one on one " .

that I would be able to keep at the present school. They are

so big on paperwork here in TX, that it would be easy to see that

can't possibly keep up. So, what would they do with him?

Stick him in a corner and let him scribble with some crayons, or go

to the other school, where they seem enthusiastic about helping him,

and he will have more assistance.
