- Brailled cue cards (for instance standard sized cards, like used bus/ metro cards) with one word per card. The cards are randomly mixed, learners take turns to pick a card, spell/ pronounce/ give the meaning/ make a sentence. As the cards are mixed and anonymous, learners are less afraid of making mistakes: no one will know who mis-spelt a word - it is simply corrected or thrown away; and all learn from the mistake.
- English spelling for visually impaired learners
- Pronunciation for hearing impaired learners
- Assistive technology
