Julie’s at home these days – since we found out she’s deaf in one ear, we pulled her out of school to do more one-on-one learning at home. <\/p>\n

She’s good at associating words with the visual representation of the letter – she’ll see “S”, and say “That’s what Sienna’s name starts with!” – but bad at names of letters. So, I hacked up a quick wxPython script from the wxPython samples that will just show an uppercase and lowercase letter, which she can click through. It’s basically a quick-and-dirty flashcard program: source available<\/a>, of course. <\/p>\n

Because I wanted to track her progress, I hacked up a little Ning App to track her learning. As of today, she only recognizes J (for Julie) and X on the first try. So, we’ll track it and see how she does. LearningLetters<\/a>. 20 minute app, probably less. It’s crude, but it works. <\/p>\n

It’s easy to make this work for just about anything you want to track. Just modify the ‘choices’ array.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
