  • Patent number: 6146147
    Abstract: An interactive phonological and auditory skills improvement system is provided. The system includes a microprocessor, a display connected to the microprocessor, and a speaker connected to the microprocessor. Phonological game logic is run on the microprocessor, the phonological game logic provides at least one audible sound through the speaker and a phonological test regarding said at least one sound. A user responds to the phonological test which is graphically displayed on the display screen using an input device. Auditory game logic is also run on the microprocessor. The auditory game logic provides at least one audible sound through the speaker and an auditory test regarding said at least one sound. The user must respond to the auditory test using the input device. The auditory test is also graphically displayed on the display screen.
