Watch Our Writing Improve

Today everyone in Year 4 began planning in pairs their own fantasy story. What was different to the previous planning completed by BIS children is that this time everyone used a piece of software called 'WriteOnline'. WriteOnline is similar to Word in that it allows a person to write text but it is also quite different because it has features such as Word Bars and a text to speech function. Many children I ask to read a sentence after they have written it but will forget. WriteOnline will ready completed sentences and words to a child so they can listen back. Ms Alison and I are also a huge fan of the word bars too!
