Word Prediction
Develop Vocabulary and Spelling with Word Prediction
Clicker’s intelligent word predictor suggests words that fit the context of the student’s writing, encouraging them to use more adventurous vocabulary. Children are able to create flowing pieces of text with accurate spelling and grammatically correct sentences.
Predicts in context as you type
The predictor is fully
integrated, so that it always knows your context. A list of possible
next words is offered as you complete the word you are typing. If the
word you want is not in the list, just start typing – your word is
likely to appear after just two or three letters!
For struggling
spellers, our SoundsLike technology detects what the word being typed
sounds like. It then predicts words that begin with that sound. For
example if you type 'wen', Clicker predicts 'when' and 'Wednesday', as
well as 'went'!
Access with mouse or keyboard
To enter a predicted word into
your document, either click the word with the mouse or use a number key
on the keyboard (you can choose whether you want to use the numeric
keypad or the main number keys).
Want to hear the word before
entering it? Just right-click (Mac: Ctrl-click) with the mouse or hold
Ctrl while you press the number key.
Predict anywhere in the document
Integrated
word prediction also means that you can go back anywhere in your text
to look for alternatives. For example, imagine you have entered this
sentence:
I walking to the park.
You
listen to the sentence and realize that you have an incorrect word
ending in 'walking'. Just move your text cursor between the 'k' and the
'i' and the predictor will offer all the possible word endings. Click on
'walked' and you're done!
Personalise for your students
You can be sure your students are
getting predicted words that are right for them by setting the predictor
to any one of four levels. You can even create your own customized
levels. All the settings are automatically stored with the user’s
profile.
