First, a desired learning sheet 10 is taken out from the sheet storage portion 20, and the learning sheet 10 is placed at a predetermined position on the sheet sensor 40 as shown in FIG. Then, when the power switch 21 is turned on (step S1), a voice is output from the speaker 23, such as "Ooooooooooooooooooooooo!" (Step S2), and the start of the learning operation is declared. When the learner touches the identification hole 12A of the identification unit 12 with the tip of the touch pen 30, the unique position is detected and the operation is started (step S3). Touch pen 3
When 0 is contacted with the identification hole 12A and its position is detected,
The type for identifying the learning sheet 10 is determined by the internal circuit, the data storing the characters and writing method thereof is read from the memory, and the sound "Come on!" Is output from the speaker 23 (step S4). On the other hand, if there is no start input in step S3, the timer incorporated in the internal circuit is turned on (step S3).
6) Then, depending on the presence / absence of input, the process returns to step S2 or S3 (step S7).

Here, when the start input is made in step S3, sheet input becomes possible (step S5), and the learner uses the touch pen 30 to make a hole 11 in the character 11.
When a contact is made along A in the order of writing, the contact position is sequentially detected by the internal circuit and stored in the memory. Then, when all the input is completed, it is judged whether or not the input writing order is correct by comparing with the correct data read from the memory (step S).
10). If the answer is correct, it is judged whether or not the learning is over (step S14). If it is not over, it means that one screen is over, so "beep!" Is output from the speaker 23 and the process returns to step S5 (step S5). S15). If the step S14 ends, the speaker 23 outputs a voice as "Done! Well done! Now it's" A "" (step S20), and proceeds to the rattan dam judgment (step S21). If the answer is YES, the speaker 23 will say “Awesome! Is output (step S22), the process returns to step S2, and if not, the speaker 23 outputs a voice message "Next What" (step S23) and the process returns to step S3. The CPU of the internal circuit makes a random selection for the determination in step S21.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S10 that the answer is not correct, the speaker 23 outputs a voice like "start over" (step S11), and similarly to step S21, it is determined whether or not it is random (step S11). Step S12). Then, if it is determined to, the voice is output, "Good luck" and the process returns to step S5 (step S13). If not, the process returns to step S4.

In the above-described embodiment, characters and the like are input by the sheet sensor and the touch pen.
It can also be detected by a touch sensor. In addition, although the learning sheet is identified by the position of the identification hole, it is possible to attach a code etc. to the learning sheet and read the code etc. or identify by mechanical unevenness or protrusions. Is. In the above embodiment, the main body is provided with the sheet storage portion, but it may be a separate body.
Furthermore, although only the voice is output in the above description, it is possible to add a display such as characters and lamps.
