Clickr as a tool to support pupils



Clickr is a writing support and multimedia tool for children of all abilities and people with special needs. It consists primarily of two main components:
- Clickr Writer: a talking word processor, which can be used with or without pictures.

- Clickr Grids: A clickr grid usually fits into the bottom of the screen. It is made up of cells which can contain letters, words, phrases, pictues and sounds.

This tool is great for aiding children with weak literacy skills and also all young children that require guidance structuring sentences. The tool incorporates strong visual, auditory and kinaesthetic learning styles.

The children can use this tool to create story boards or even longer passages of writing over time.
