🎙️【Lele Concept Q&A】S3E03 Why does the Lele reading pen speak slower than normal speech?

Have you ever wondered why the Lele reading pen reads aloud slower than normal speech, especially in beginner stories? Actually, this is a clever design by Lele's author, Ms. Yao Nu!

Through years of teaching experience, Teacher Yao has found that slowing down the reading speed makes it easier for children to hear clearly, imitate, and thus master the correct pronunciation, intonation, and tone. For children who are just starting out, a slower pace makes it easier and more comfortable for them to get started.

The design of the reading pen also echoes the pace of children's learning. Both beginner and intermediate stories support word-by-word reading, allowing them to gradually build language sense through repeated listening and reading. Slowly, they will find that their reading speed is faster than the reading pen, and they no longer need to rely on "slow guidance" but can naturally "read independently," smoothly transitioning to intermediate stories and gradually building confidence and a sense of accomplishment.

Irene and Jewel also shared their observations: children benefit greatly from using the Lele Reading Pen for slow reading, not only learning more thoroughly but also enjoying the pleasure of reading. Now, let's listen to their stories!
