Compatible with Boardmaker/Speaking Dynamically Pro

Turn Boardmaker with Speaking Dynamically Pro into a talking word processor with 13 writing activities containing over 240 boards. With Writing Activities, students at early literacy levels can write their own lists, letters, cards, stories and poems.

Writing Activities by Jill Senner uses word-bank writing, symbol and speech support to accommodate students at different reading levels. No spelling is required to complete the activities, however, more advanced students can use the simple a-e-i-o-u onscreen keyboard with two word-prediction buttons to spell words or sign their letters, cards and stories.

Different activities are structured to help students accomplish specific writing tasks.

  • A list tool helps students generate lists for groceries, gift requests, to-do items or vacation packing
  • Fill-in stories on fun topics such as Halloween and “the worst day of my life” simplify the writing process
  • A card creation activity helps students create personalised birthday and holiday cards
  • An errorless sentence-building tool allows beginning writers to practise crafting sentences, while more advanced students can use it to write their own free-form short stories or poems word-by-word
  • Students can keep in touch with pen pals, family and friends using the letter-writing activity
