The Intervention
The Parent sends in a word input.
The babbles board gives a green light as a starting signal.
The Babble Board points to the letters.
The child says each letter and writes them down, instantly recollecting.
An ending red signal is given.
The child strings, decodes and pronounces the word.

Making The Babble Board
User Testing
Key insights:
Change the font, 'E' isn't readable
Kids ages 8-10 enjoyed Babble as well
The speed of the sticks was apt for the age group.
Lacks a start/stop feedback.
Usability Testing
The Positives:
The speed of the sticks were apt.
The children were engaged and focused while guessing the words.
They felt like they decoded a password.
Kids aged 8-10 also enjoyed the game.
The Negatives:
A need of change in the font, 'E' lacked readability.
Even though children got their pronunciations right, most could'nt tell what the word meant.

🥡My Takeaways:
Gamification engages children to learn with interest and enthusiasm, adds a layer of competition.
When designing for kids, think of the smallest of details and interactions.
Carrying an extra whiteboard marker is essential.
Sometimes simple things work the best.

Building On The observations
Different children have different learning curves. The parent can track the child's progress.
An unscrambler will give the elder children more of a challenge.
A guide through the meanings of the words guessed will improve their vocabulary, completing the learning link.
