Colour and touch plate intended to awaken learning interest in children with learning difficulties

TRAY AND TOUGHER COLOR FOR

AWAKENING EDUCATION OF CHILDREN ATTARDES

1 The present invention relates to the educational material for 1' teaching reading and writing. It is particularly suitable for children who for some reason or another have a delay or a congenital defect or accidental prevents the use of the conventional methods.

This, a number of methods have already associated educational the gesture to the acquisition letters and syllables. Herein include, for example, the phonetic method and created by gesture Madam Borel- Maisonny and described in the work "liking Of reading and reading" C. Sylvester of Sacy edits to the social French (Sème edition, 1969, street Viète 17,. Paris 17ème). The method combining of particular movements of the hands and face to certain litres or syllables, facilitates the acquisition of the lesture and writing to the children dyslectics for example. Other educational methods, such the method or methods Montesaury the Schaeffer also associate the movement to language acquisition.

Dyslexia However in some cases of deep or delayed or deaf children these conventional methods are no longer sufficient.

The educational device described in the inventors actually giving rise to deaf, or acquire the autistic trisomics reading and writing where the other educational methods had failed.

The device object of the invention is to provide, by a dynamic game aimed release of the speech related to the touch and or visual recognition of the main letters and syllables. It combines both a spatial arrangement bilatéralisée (up-down, right-left), a color gradation characteristic and a different tactile (roughness for example) to which there are associated letters or syllables.

In one embodiment of the invention, the arrangement is such that the vowels are rows from top to bottom in the order of high-pitched sounds to the severe, for example i, e, to, a, o, u, each of those letters being associated with a different color range from, for example, as a cold color dark green to a warm color like yellow and red through the other intermediate colors, further each letter or color associated is made of a material different than touch aspect -1 such receiver, could: example, that sand paper to large seed for the vowel acute "i" to the felt most soft for the vowel the more severe as the "u". In another embodiment of the invention, it is possible to intercalpr. syllables or between the vowels have only the coloured background and the letter with a different touch-sensitive material. In another embodiment of the invention the different vowels with a color and a different tactile aspect will be disposed on small plates differentiated it will take place on the tray at the right location indicated by either the color for the showy-mutes, either by the touch to the blind people.

figure "1" represents the tray with the color and letters and that the materials of distinct touch.

figure "2" represents a game representation of the tray such that it may be disposed on the back of the tray.

figure "3" represents a detail of making a vowel disposed on a wafer.

the drawing of Figure "1" appended illustrates as an example a

preferred embodiment of the present invention as it has been

\

be configured after many years of experiment with actually giving rise of the

deaf, or autistic trisoniques. On this figure, the colors of the different letters or syllables ranging of the 1 at 8 will be, e. g., in order, the dark green, the average green, green very clear, red, the beige, brown, blue and yellow. Tray The total dimension due thus produced may be 20 to 30 centimetres on side.

Figure "2" represents another embodiment of the invention in one aspect more amusing or, for example, the letters will be written in black on bottom which the roughness varies smoothly from 9. aul6 being carried out respectively by sand paper very large grain (9), coarse-grain (10), to average grain (11), fine-grained (12), very fine-grain (13), large sheet flax (14), (15) felt, velvet (16).

Figure "3" is a detail of construction of Figure "1" in case the letter are fixed on wafers 16 or non-removable and painted according to the color code or the previously described letter l8 is carried out in sand paper fine grain the width of which is sufficient to be tracked and recognized by a child's finger.

Performed Of course the descriptions below, even though they represent a preferred embodiment of the invention, are only examples among other and any change in the color, texture or materials the material of manufacture of the tray and let -1 tree remain within the scope of this invention.

Also can vary most of the the platform for 5 centimeters to 5O centimetres and even beyond without departing from the scope of the invention.
