DEVELOP INDEPENDENT WRITING SKILLS Students choose from clusters of words, phrases and pictures to produce their own writing. As each sentence is completed, it is spoken aloud, helping learners to review and correct what they have written.

Children can right-click to listen to any of the words and phrases in the grid before using them, providing an opportunity to rehearse their sentences before writing them.
