Abstract: An early-learning system and method wherein its systemic form features a manually learner-manipulable structure including (a) at least one pair of adjacent, operatively associated, relatively shiftable, learning-information carriers organized, with respect to one another, as dedicated foreground and background carriers having a defined condition of permitted, relative-shifting motion, and (b) visual, partial-learning-element units carried by each of these carriers, each unit which is carried by one of the carriers, through an act involving relative shifting of the two carriers, being combinable visually and selectively with at least one such unit which is carried by the other carrier, thus to form a visual, full-learning element.

Abstract: An electronic early recognition and confirmation system generally in learner-useable book-form structure including (a) pages, each including at least one lesson-specific question, and for each such question an associated field containing a plurality of nominally undistinguished, learner-selectable, image-based answers among which there is at least one best answer, (b) with respect to each such question, an invitation to a learner to respond to that question by interacting in a defined way with any selected one of the relevant field-associated answers, and (c) power-ready, electronic, interaction-response structure embedded in the book-form structure, operable, when a learner interacts with a selected answer in the relevant field, to produce a light and/or sound correctness-confirming response of one style when the selected answer is the best answer, and a light and/or sound noncorrectness-announcing response of another style when the selected answer is another, incorrect answer.
