DEVELOP INDEPENDENT WRITING SKILLS
Students choose from clusters of words, phrases and pictures to produce their own writing. As each sentence is completed, it is spoken aloud, helping learners to review and correct what they have written.

Children can right-click to listen to any of the words and phrases in the grid before using them, providing an opportunity to rehearse their sentences before writing them.

USE ANY TEXT
Set up a sequence of grids for your students in seconds, arranging words and phrases into clusters as you go. Plus, get free ready-made Connect Sets from our LearningGrids site, which is fully accessible from within the app!

WRITE WITH PICTURES
For additional support, add a picture to any cell in your grid – over 3500 searchable curriculum pictures are included, and you can use your own from your photo library or snap them straight in with the Chromebook camera. As you write, each picture goes into the document too, helping students to read back what they have written.

ENJOY WRITING SUCCESS
The child-friendly Sassoon font included in the app makes Clicker documents look great on screen and on paper. Save directly to your Google Drive, print your work, or share it via email. Whatever your students’ current level, watch their confidence grow and their motivation soar as they experience writing success!

USE IT YOUR WAY
In the simple Settings menu, select American, British or Australian English, and customize the voice, font and colors. And Clicker Connect works anywhere, whether or not you have an Internet connection.
