Abstract

A computer operable method is described for transforming phonemes, graphemes, and other language structures into interactive elements. The method may comprise, receiving a word, wherein the word consists of a group of phonemes; forming a group of graphemes, wherein the group of graphemes is constructed using information relating to the group of phonemes; and forming a group of manipulatives, wherein the group of manipulatives is constructed using information relating to the group of phonemes or the group of graphemes.

Claims

1. A computer operable method for transforming phonemes, graphemes, and other language structures into interactive elements, comprising the steps of:

receiving a word, wherein the word consists of a group of phonemes;

forming a group of graphemes, wherein the group of graphemes is constructed using information relating to the group of phonemes; and

forming a group of manipulatives, wherein the group of manipulatives is constructed using information relating to the group of phonemes or the group of graphemes.

2. A computer operable method according to claim 1, wherein said method further comprises displaying the group of graphemes or the group of manipulatives.

3. A computer operable method according to claim 2, wherein said method further comprises receiving a selection of a first manipulative and expanding the selection to include a first grapheme associated with the first manipulative.

4. A computer operable method according to claim 3, wherein the selection of the first manipulative results in the playing of an audio file.

5. A computer operable method according to claim 1, wherein said method further comprises receiving a change request, wherein the change request contains a request to alter the group of phonemes, the group of graphemes, or the group of manipulatives.

6. A computer operable method according to claim 5, wherein said method further comprises evaluating the change request to determine a phonotactic validity value, an orthographic validity value, or an instructional validity value of the change request;

and approving the change request only if the phonotactic validity value, the orthographic validity value, or the instructional validity value are allowed by one or more validity thresholds.

7. A computer operable method according to claim 5, wherein said method further comprises implementing a change request, wherein the change request is to alter the group of phonemes and altering the group of phonemes also results in altering the group of graphemes or manipulatives.
