DEVELOP INDEPENDENT WRITING SKILLS
Students choose from clusters of words, phrases, and pictures to produce their own writing. Simply selecting a cell containing a symbol sends the symbol into your document. Clicker Connect SymbolStix displays both the symbol and the text, encouraging learners to make the connection between the words and the images.
SPEECH FEEDBACK
As each sentence is completed, it is spoken aloud in a child's voice, helping learners to review and correct what they have written. This also enables learners to develop their understanding of the link between the symbols they see and the words they hear.
Students can use the Sound Shift tool to listen to words and phrases in the grid before using them, to help them choose how they want to convey their ideas.
READING AND WRITING SUPPORT FOR A VARIETY OF LEARNING NEEDS
Use symbols with Clicker Connect SymbolStix to create valuable communication aids and support writing activities. Symbols provide vital support to those that require it, enabling learners to:
- Communicate more easily and effectively
- Build their confidence
- Develop greater academic independence
- Better understand and use given information
DIFFERENTIATE SUPPORT ACCORDING TO NEED
Clicker Connect SymbolStix provides an extensive range of support options to suit students of all abilities:
- Color-code words or phrases to emphasize sentence structure
- Use Guided Order to ensure students work from left to right
- Use symbols and pictures to help identify words
- Enlarge cells for extra clarity
- Use the child-friendly keyboard, in addition to the grids, to extend writing.
ENJOY WRITING SUCCESS
The child-friendly Sassoon font included in the app makes Clicker documents look great on screen and on paper. Print your work to any Airprint-compatible printer, or share it via email, AirDrop, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive or WebDAV. As they experience success, students begin to discover the pleasure of independent writing!
ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL
To make access easier for those with physical challenges, the unique SuperKeys option makes words easy to target. Tap anywhere within a word cluster to enlarge it, and then tap the word you want. The keyboard works in the same way, with the keys grouped into just six large clusters that fill the keyboard area when expanded.
