Clicker Writer

Most word processors are designed for literate adults. Clicker Writer is designed for children who are learning to read and write. It will grow with your pupils as they develop their skills, making it the ideal word processor for the classroom.

Pupils type into Clicker Writer from the keyboard, or use Clicker Grids to enter words and pictures, so you really can use it across your age and ability range.

Amazing quality speech

Clicker Writer helps learners find and correct errors and grow in independence and confidence by providing automatic speech feedback as pupils write. Each sentence is automatically read out as it is completed, with every word clearly highlighted as it is spoken, enabling learners to follow the text and review what they have written. Research shows that this active engagement with text encourages pupils to find and correct errors for themselves.

Write with pictures

When you're using pictures from Clicker Grids, or the 'Instant Pictures' feature, pictures are displayed above the words as you write, helping pupils to read their writing. Use pictures from the Crick Picture Library that comes with the program, or use other picture libraries such as the Mayer Johnson PCS symbols, or your own bank of photos.

Child-friendly font

The child-friendly Sassoon font displays letters in the familiar form that children learn to write. This makes words and letter patterns easier to recognise for early readers.

Easy-to-use tools

Clicker Writer's tools use the standard icons that pupils need to become familiar with. By default they are displayed at a larger size, making them ideal for early writers. The toolbar is fully customisable, so you can adjust the size of the tools and display just the ones you want your pupils to use.
