A fully featured word processor for the whole class with a sliding scale of extra help for those who need it - that's Inclusive Writer. On-screen keyboards, wordlists, picture grids, spell checking aided by speech and pictures.
Literacy is a top priority
- This program allows pupils to write with the right level of additional support. Much more than a word processor, Inclusive Writer comes with many different literacy activities on the CD and you can readily design your own.
- Government initiatives for "inclusion" will mean that a wide range of learners' needs will have to be met, and activities differentiated for different abilities and access needs. Inclusive Writer will include almost every learner in writing and literacy activities ... even those who use switches.
Switch Access as Standard
- With switch access, for full inclusion, Inclusive Writer allows every child to produce attractive written work with the option of using the resident vocabulary of 7,000 words with picture illustrations. Pictures and sound make checking spelling or choosing the right word more effective.
- You can create a word/phrase bank in one or more windows, and send the words, letters or phrases into your main document. Any window can be edited easily as you work - modify or add new words and pictures quickly.
- Use Inclusive Writer as a standard classroom word processor. Through the use of graphics, pictorial support can be used to aid spelling, learning about word families, grammatical structures and other htmlects of literacy.
Picture Support
- Comes with images to illustrate 7,000 words and you can also easily add your own. Through the support of images, help your pupils to see that they have correctly spelt the past tense of a verb, or turned an adjective into an adverb - happy becomes happily. If it is not spelt correctly the image will not appear.
Speech
- Includes speech so you can listen to your writing as you go, or afterwards. Has different voices and you can even apply different voices to different parts of the text. Have different characters speaking in different voices, or just have fun telling jokes! As well as synthesised speech, you can add sound files to your work. Liven up your writing about the zoo with animal noises! Choose the appropriate menu bar for a particular learner or group. There are six to choose from. Tailor the environment for the activity and for the learner.
Spell Checker
- Spell checker with pictorial support. Do I need 'pear', 'pair' or 'pare'? Listen to the word and look at the picture. Try out the word before making your choice. You can even tailor the spellchecker to recognise those local dialect words.
Design Activities
- Set up an activity with an appropriate word/phrase bank or picture grid - perhaps more than one. Add a button window for easy access to commands such as 'put a big picture in the middle'. Windows or grids can now be locked into place. Save the whole environment so it will load up as you wish the pupils to use it.
- Now with switch access to grids, so learners who need to access the computer through switch(es) can use the same software as everyone else.
- Comes with many pre-designed activities, including word banks, sequencing activities, story starters, non-fiction writing, rhyming words.
- All activities can be modified to suit your learners, and there is a tutorial to help you get started in designing your own activities.
