Individual & Group Work
Find
Out & Write About is ideal for individual work:
- Children can work independently
- They can read text with speech support
- Support is given to write their account, and with speech and
color coding
- There are direct links from the writing pages back to the
reading pages, so children know where to find the information
- Glossaries help explain subject-specific vocabulary
- Children can click on unknown difficult words when reading
on their own
There are many ways that you can use Find Out & Write
About for group work:
- Work around the computer with a group
- Read the text together and discuss
- Pick out the most important/interesting facts from
the reading pages
- Make sentences together on the writing pages -
you can model and different group members can make sentences
- Check the finished writing against the reading pages
Find Out & Write About is also ideal for independent group
work and reporting back.
You could divide a class of children into separate groups for
research work - 'Find Out & Report Back'. Groups could be divided
according to ability - group 1 finds out at level 1, group 2 at
level 2, and group 3 at level 3 - differentiation allows for groups
to work at an appropriate reading and writing level.
