Here's how it works: A child goes into a booth where he is alone with a "'talk- ing typewriter." He touches a letter key on the multi-colored keyboard a:ft the computer re- sponds by pronouncing and typ- ing the letter. He soon discovers how let- ters, symbols and numerals jlook and sound, later expand- ling them into words, sentences and stories--all within 30 hours of "instrumented instruction." The Freeport experiment started five months ago when the Responsive Environment Corp. of the Thomas A. Edison Laboratory in New York in- vited the Freeport public schools to conduct an experi- ment to determine the instru- ment's validity.
