DEVELOP INDEPENDENT WRITING SKILLS

Students choose from clusters of symbol-supported words and phrases to produce their own writing. Both the symbol and the text are displayed, encouraging learners to make the connection between them.

SPEECH FEEDBACK

As each sentence is completed it is spoken aloud, helping learners to review what they have written and to understand the link between the symbols they see and the words they hear. Students can also listen to words/symbols before using them, to help them choose the one they want.

INDIVIDUALIZED LITERACY SUPPORT

Create writing activities using any text and add symbols or pictures to support each word or phrase. Included with the app is the symbolstix library of over 24,000 symbols plus the crick picture library of 3,500 curriculum pictures.
