Using software to develop skills: writing
http://www.ictadvice.org.uk/index.php?section=tl&cat=001001003&rid=4324 Using software to develop skills: writing Communicating ideas in writing, whether by hand or using a word processor, is a very complex task. You need to not only know what it is you?e trying to express in words, but also be able to spell all the words you need. A basic word processor can offer a lot of support for early writers, for dyslexic pupils and for those who would struggle to control a pencil. For pupils with major physical impairments, severe dyslexia or impaired cognitive development, an on-screen grid can help them to communicate their ideas. Using a talking word processor |
