Scoring and Prompt Levels Explained
How scoring modes and the cueing hierarchy work.
Scoring modes:
Sound Safari offers two scoring approaches:
- Live scoring — Tap Correct/Incorrect/Approximate after each word. Results are recorded immediately and shown on screen.
- Score later — Practice without scoring, then review and score words after the session. Great for when you want to focus on therapy rather than data entry.
Discreet scoring:
Enable in Settings or per-student. Hides the live score counter during sessions so the student doesn't focus on their accuracy percentage. Data is still recorded — it's just not displayed.
Prompt levels:
Sound Safari follows the standard cueing hierarchy:
- Maximum — Full model + visual + verbal cues
- Moderate — Partial model + verbal cue
- Minimum — Verbal cue only
- Independent — No cues provided
Adjust the prompt level during a session using the slider at the bottom of the practice screen. The prompt level is recorded with each word response for accurate data tracking.
