letters

letters allows you to make and change words using letters from the alphabet, consonant clusters and digraphs. letters also includes symbols from the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to allow you to construct words from their sounds or show a corrispondance between the letters from the alphabet and their sounds.

words

Construct and annotate words, phrases and sentences, sort words into groups and rearrange words into complete sentences.

Words, phrases and sentences can be annotated by the pupil and adult to highlight the type of words used (nouns, verbs etc.) with simple colour coding pupils can see what type of word is missing from the sentence and then edit it accordingly.
