New Clicker resources

BETT 2001, Kensington, Olympia, London

The award-winning Clicker takes on exciting new dimensions at BETT 2001. New Clicker resources include more CDs in the ‘Find Out and Write About’ series, plus a unique collection of animations which illustrate verbs in a totally new way.

‘Clicker has children writing who have never written anything before’ is a typical response from one of the thousands of teachers across the world who now use Clicker in their classrooms every day. By simply clicking a mouse, children can write with whole words, phrases, pictures and now animations. Multimedia features, such as the instant creation of talking books, develop reading and writing skills.

The new Find Out and Write About series of Clicker applications is designed to support young children beginning to do very simple independent research. The series offers ready-made talking books of non-fiction text. Each page of the book is linked to a Clicker writing grid. Children can listen to the text on each page (recorded using high quality real speech), then link directly to a writing grid that enables them to write about the information they have just read. Two or three levels of material are included in each pack, allowing for differentiation. New titles at BETT include Find Out and Write About Under the Sea, Minibeasts, Castles, Animals and The Ancient Greeks.

Also to be released at BETT is the Clicker Animations CD – a unique collection of original pictures for use with Clicker, which come to life as children write with them. Clicker is the first word processor that enables children to write with moving pictures that allow easy discrimination between, for example, ‘run’ and ‘walk’.
