The use of talking books in the classroom has been the subject of various independent research projects. Some significant comments are shown here.
"90% of more able readers scored 100% on the sentence reading test following reading practice with the computer compared with just 20% following reading practice with the book."' Multimedia Technology and the Acquisition of Early Reading Skills' Teresa Sharp, Oxford Books University
"... using talking stories increases children's word reading accuracy, both in the context of the story and out of context. In fact some of the children showed increases as great or greater than when they read books with the teacher."
".. using talking stories improves children's understanding of the stories and supports children's reading by offering them access to the meaning of the stories and the way sentences work."
The talking Books Project, 1995-1996 Jane Medwell, University College of St. Mark and St. John, Plymouth
