New features:
At the heart of Clicker sits a child-friendly word processor. What sets Clicker apart from other word processors is the extensive support it offers to emergent, developing and struggling readers and writers. With Clicker, every child can become an independent writer.
Realistic speech feedback – students have an opportunity to hear their work read back to them in a friendly, age-appropriate voice that they can identify with.
Voice Notes – Students can record their own audio notes before they write to rehearse their sentences and capture their initial thoughts and ideas.
Intelligent word prediction – a built-in predictor to support struggling spellers. Both the predictor and customizable spell checker are speech supported.
Clicker Grids give students point-and-click access to whole words, phrases and pictures. Each kind of Clicker Set provides a specific writing support or targets a particular skill. Clicker makes creating and editing Clicker Sets easier than ever, so you can quickly provide content for any topic.
Create your own Clicker Sets or customize ready-made ones on the LearningGrids website.
Sentence Sets
Each grid in a Sentence Set contains all the words you need to build a sentence. A model sentence can be shown on the grid, in a pop-up, or aurally to provide the appropriate level of support.
Sentence Sets develop important literacy skills such as left-to-right directionality and the accurate use of capital letters and periods. You can create a Sentence Set for your students by simply typing or pasting your sentences.
Connect Sets
Connect Sets help developing writers, struggling writers and English language learners to take their first steps to independent writing.
Students are provided with clusters of words, phrases and/or pictures to help them build a coherent piece of text. As with all Clicker Sets, students can listen to any word or phrase before adding it to their sentence.
Word Banks
When children are ready to write using the keyboard, they may still need support with the more difficult words. Build Word Banks to support any curriculum area - just paste relevant text and let Clicker do the rest, automatically removing the high frequency words.
Word Banks are organized in tabs to provide access alphabetically or through topic areas. It’s now even easier to create and edit Word Banks, and you can use them for writing frames, too.
NEW Select the ‘Picturize’ button to instantly add pictures to any Clicker grid, including Sentence Sets and Word Banks.
