With Blabberize, students can choose any photo, put a moving mouth on it, and add their voice to it to make it speak! With Voki, students create a speaking avatar, and with Vocaroo, students can record their own voice, or a conversation with a partner.  

This product comes with Blabberize and Voki models for students, instruction templates, and requirement checklists.  It also includes a student version, and teacher version for notes on the numbers 1-100 , and for the alphabet.  Finally, there is a written assessment that has a matching section for numbers, and a listening section for the alphabet.

See one Blabberize example, and one Voki example below.
