HELP EVERY CHILD ACHIEVE WRITING SUCCESS
Students click words in the grid to build sentences in the simple word processor, then hear each sentence automatically spoken aloud as they complete it, helping them to identify any mistakes and make corrections. Learners can even hear words before they write them, helping them to find the words they want and achieve writing success.
USE ANY SEQUENCE OF SENTENCES
Set up any sequence of sentences for your learners in a few seconds by simply typing or pasting them in. What’s more, get free, ready-made Sentence Sets via our LearningGrids site, which is fully accessible from within the app!
PROVIDE DIFFERENTIATED SUPPORT
Numerous support options ensure that students of all abilities are given the right level of challenge to experience success:
- For students just getting started with writing, show the completed sentence as a model, so they can copy it word-for-word.
- A model sentence in a pop-up enables the students to see the sentence, but not copy it. The pop-up must be closed before they write.
- A spoken model means the student can listen to the sentence, but not see it.
- Automatically randomize the words on the grid, or provide additional support by showing them in the correct sentence order.
USE PICTURES FOR ADDITIONAL SUPPORT AND MOTIVATION
Adding a picture to each sentence provides students with an additional cue. Choose pictures from your photos, snap them with your Chromebook camera, or select one from the Crick Picture Library. The pictures can be sent into the document too, helping students when they are reading back their work.
CRICK PICTURE LIBRARY NOW INCLUDED
The acclaimed Crick Picture Library is included with the app! Browse or search the carefully categorized pictures to add child-friendly support to your Sentence Sets. Our Picture Library contains over 3,500 curriculum-related pictures, drawn by our own artist.
WRITING TO BE PROUD OF
The child-friendly Sassoon font included in the app makes documents look great. 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 Sentences works anywhere, whether or not you have an Internet connection.
