WordQ



Is your child dyslexic? Does your child possess a learning disability? Is he/she interested in becoming a writer? If the answer to any one of these questions is yes, then WordQ is the software for you.
WordQ fosters independence and competence in writing. It allows writers of different ages to express their writer's creativity and confidence while increasing their self-esteem.

WordQ works well with writing software such as MS Word, WordPad, NotePad or Outlook. Its main features are suggested words and spoken feedback of words typed. WordQ allows for easy spelling of difficult words by suggesting words which begin with the letter that is typed. It also allows the word to be read after it is typed, which assists the writer with proofreading. Text can also be highlighted and read aloud. Read more...

WordQ personifies Vygotsky's theory of scaffolding. Children with learning disabilities are able to write with the support of WordQ without stifling their creativity. WordQ offers just enough support and prompts to enable these exceptional children to write confidently. This programme also allows them to learn by being active participants in their writing.

  2. If this software can assist children who are dyslexic, it can definitely help those children who lack the confidence in writing. Sounds amazing.
