Clicker Docs for iPad
Now replaced by
Clicker Docs helps pupils of all abilities to achieve writing success. It is particularly useful for learners with dyslexia and struggling spellers.
Watch your pupils’ skills and confidence grow as they use the range of writing support tools on offer to create accurate, flowing documents. Designed with the classroom in mind, Clicker Docs includes the Sassoon font, a lower case keyboard and many other child-friendly features to create an accessible and engaging environment for pupils to work in.
"Rachel and Johnny find writing with a pencil and paper an extremely difficult process... what’s great about Clicker Docs is that not only does it help to develop the children’s literacy skills, but also their confidence, because they are able to write with a degree of independence."
Helene Bligh, Inclusion Manager, Riverhead Infants’ School
Review writing with clear speech
Pupils use the simplified lower case keyboard to type into Clicker Docs, and when they punctuate a sentence their work is read back to them in a realistic-sounding child's voice. This helps them to find and correct errors for themselves, so that they become more independent writers.
Increase writing productivity with word prediction
The Clicker Docs Predictor suggests age-appropriate vocabulary based on the context of pupils’ writing. The Predictor encourages pupils to use more adventurous vocabulary, consistently reinforces the correct spellings of the words they wish to write and really helps to speed up the writing productivity of children who struggle to transfer their ideas to the page.
Provide writing support with Word Banks
Word Banks provide tabbed vocabulary support for any subject or topic. Children simply tap a word to add it to their document. As with the document and the Predictor, Word Banks are completely speech supported – use our unique Sound Shift tool to listen to a word before using it. It’s so easy for teachers to create a Word Bank in Clicker Docs, organised with either alphabetical tabs or topic tabs.
Hundreds of free resources at your fingertips
No time to make your own? A professionally made, ever expanding bank of free learning resources is just a tap away. Select ‘LearningGrids’ to access a wide range of topic-specific Word Banks created by our curriculum team – new resources are added regularly.
Personalised support for every pupil
Change how the app looks and acts to meet each child’s learning needs. Available options include changing the speed and frequency at which Clicker Docs speaks, customising the word prediction level and using high contrast colour schemes.
Share resources and work your way
We have incorporated a variety of ways to share Clicker Docs files; choose whichever works best for your school set-up. Print your work to any AirPrint-compatible printer, or share it via AirDrop, Dropbox, Google Drive, Mail, WebDAV or OneDrive.
Accessible for all
To make access easier for those with physical challenges, the unique SuperKeys option groups the letter keys into clusters, creating just six large areas to target. Just tap the cluster containing the letter you want, and then tap the letter in the enlarged cluster. The Predictor/spell checker has four size options too, to make words easy to select.
SuperKeys can also be set up to work with Switch Access on the iPad. To find out how to do this, download our PDF guide.
