Picturize
Pictures are a valuable tool for supporting literacy development, whether they’re used for visual stimulation, talking points, or to aid understanding. The new ‘Picturize’ button in Clicker 8 instantly adds images to any text in a document or Clicker Grid – including Sentence Sets, Connect Sets and Word Banks.
This may be especially useful for children who may require a picture to be shown above each word as it is typed (or for it to be in the word predictor and spell checker) to aid understanding and recognition.
Clicker Analytics
Clicker Analytics provides you with rich data, giving you a unique insight into each learner’s writing journey. Whether they’ve used a Clicker Grid, the spell-checker or predictor, at a glance you’ll be able to see how they are using the accommodations you’ve put into place for them and if they are ready to progress to new activities and challenges.
You can also add Teacher Notes to highlight key points or next steps, and because the analytics data is embedded within the document, you’ll always have a record of it.
Clicker Cloze
‘Fill in the blank’ activities are many teachers go-to for quickly assessing their students’ topic knowledge, as well as their ability to use semantic and contextual clues.
Clicker Cloze enables you to create Cloze activities on any topics quickly and easily.
Children can hear the suggestions read aloud and teachers can take a quick glance at how pupils have done by viewing the Analytics tab.
