ChooseIt! Literacy

New ChooseIt! Literacy App based on the BETT Award winning ChooseIt Ready-made Series from Inclusive Technology. ChooseIt! Literacy contains over 250 activities with over 5,000 pages of simple multiple choice activities.

ChooseIt! Literacy has a simple and consistent presentation, clear language, switch accessibility and full audio support which has made them a valuable resource for children with special needs. Performance reporting is built-in.

Each activity has a graded sequence of 20 to 40 simply presented multiple-choice questions, which are structured using a positive reinforcement strategy. Correct answers result in a short animated sequence with music and spoken reinforcement while full speech support and switch access options provides access to learning to almost all students.

The Apps include simple performance reporting, so you can record student progress. Designed by a teacher with over 20 years’ experience in primary and special schools, the series is ideal for pupils at the Foundation Stage and KS1 as well as those with special needs who need extra practice. Clear graphics and good quality recorded speech make this Inclusive App ideal for children with special needs and learning difficulties.
