First Categories by Laureate Learning Systems®

 


   Laureate's First Categories uses 60 common nouns to train 6 essential early categories:  animals, foods, body parts, clothing, furniture, and vehicles.  For learners who are motivated by visual stimulation, Laureate offers full-screen scenes and 3-D blocks.  For those who are easily distracted, a simple black background can be used.

Using Laureate's Optimized Intervention® technology, First Categories begins with an assessment to determine which categories a student doesn’t already know. During training, a student is asked to identify the item that belongs to a particular category (“Which one is an animal?”) The program continually monitors a student’s performance and then tailors instructional delivery to his or her unique needs.

The Sterling Administration System carefully tracks all variables related to a student’s progress through the curriculum and stores this information in the Student File. The Report Writer has been designed to access this Student File and extract meaningful information to include in Student Reports.

Flexibility and control
You decide to train using two or three choices and whether to use illustrations or photographs. Four examples of each item aid in generalizing the concept. At the end of each lesson, a summary of the student’s performance is presented, allowing you to quickly review progress and ensure accountability.
