Hi,

Finally some screenshots.

To get an overview, a set of 12 images (in a list of 1000) is proposed 
to the children. The voice of the word is spoken:

When the list is all seen the children is proposed an exercise. The 
first step of the exercise  is to review the 12 words:

Then to review again the 12 words but without the text in the target area:

Then more complex, with no text at all:

An at last, the children must type the word:
