Talking Books Workshop
Created by Norma Perceval-Price
This slide show takes you through the steps of
creating a Talking Book using MS PowerPoint which
comes as standard on many computers. The books
created can be run on a computer, compressed and
saved on floppy disk (Pack and Go), or printed
out exactly as the screen layout. It allows you
and your pupils to create personalised books
using photographs, clip art and sound clips. You
can also include video clips. Come inside and
take a look at how to do it.
