Word Finder

Prev Next

When you don’t know where a word is located in a vocabulary, use Word Finder to search for the word and select the sequence of buttons that lead to it.

  1. From the vocabulary, select Menu.

  2. Select Word Finder. Word Finder opens.

  3. Enter the word you want to find in the search bar.

  4. Select Find.

    Note: If the word is not stored, the Find button will remain grayed out and you will not be able to select it.

  5. The window will display the sequence of buttons to tap to activate the word.

    The Word Finder sequence starts at your home page for the Vocabulary File language. For example, if the vocabulary file language is set to Spanish, the sequence starts at your Spanish home page.

  6. Select the buttons to practice the motor pattern.

    When you select the first button in the sequence, your home page opens with the button highlighted. When you select the button, the next button in the sequence is highlighted. When you select that button, the next button is highlighted and so forth until you reach the end of the sequence.

    If you do not want to practice the motor pattern, select Cancel to close the Word Finder feature.

Note: You can also use Word Finder in Vocabulary Builder. For instructions, see Use Word Finder with Vocabulary Lists.
