Our DS, has made massive progress over the last three weeks just by using 'Speaking for Myself' computer software. We are thrilled. Does anyone know whether there are any other programmes that use signalong and visual prompts?

Don't know of any other software like 'Speaking for Myself'.

Not sure if this is of help or not, but if your DS likes singalong, then you could try Karaoke. Reading ability will need to be quite good, to follow the words.

KaraFun is quite good player software, it's free to download from KaraFun.com

KaraFun plays KFN files, which you can get from Karaoke-Version.com You have to register to download. Some files are Free, while others are charged.
Within the Free Files, there is a Nursery Rhyme section.

As I'm not really sure what it is that you are wanting... how about Talking Books?

Priory Woods School - Talking Books

Guide to Making Talking Books using PowerPoint

Switch Videos - Includes 'Chicken Little' doing 'We Are The Champions', alas without singalong lyrics

SwitchedOnLearning - Talking Books with Symbol Support

Sorry, not sure these are what you are really wanting, but may be useful to know about nonetheless.

StarFall.com has interactive books for children, to help with learning to read. They are American but if that's ok, then take a look at the Learn To Read - Zac the Rat and other tales. FLASH is used for the interactive books. Includes movies to watch, such as about How The Alphabet Got It's Order.

Animations are great, so should entertain most children at least for a while!

Ok, so I was clearly being thick earlier! You wanted Sign Along things, not Sing Along.

Well, I hope the links were helpful to someone anyway.

GrayDex Software have a few Sign Along products, including Sign and Rhyme - 10 nursery rhymes.
