Clicker®

Wacky Sentences

Gillian Blatherwick and Trusha Thakrar work at Rushey Mead Primary School, Leicester, England. They have been using Clicker to support learners with English as an Additional Language. An example of their work is given here.

This Clicker 4 grid 'Wacky Sentences' has been created to support the learning of Gujerati speakers who are new to English. The Gujerati sound samples, by design, reflect the level of Gujerati in common usage by children in Leicester - not formal Gujerati. Wacky sentences is designed to support new users of English in making simple sentences based on picture cards that are sometimes a bit wacky! It is not designed to teach Gujerati.

The Clicker grid was created by Gillian Blatherwick and Trusha Thakrar, and has been used with children of varying ages. It would be very simple for users of other languages to record sound samples to support children with other first languages. It is our intention to do this when needs arise. Local graphic artist Sailesh Thakrar kindly created the artwork in the accompanying pdf file.
