K-Grade1 Clicker5 Word Banks


Do you work with emergent writers who struggle with incorporating kindergarten and first grade word wall words into their writing?
This grid with talking word banks may provide a ready-made resource to support students who struggle with handwriting (click on the word in place of handwriting/typing) and reading/spelling (can have word read aloud before selecting).

The main grid has all the kindergarten word wall words from the MCPS curriculum guide. The pop-up word bank has a more expansive word bank with the grade 1 word wall words highlighted in tan. For all words, students can preview the word read loud by clicking on the word with the RIGHT mouse button and then the LEFT mouse button sends the word to the document.

See this short video on how to use this resource.
Printable Quick Guides and video tutorials on how to use Clicker5 are available on the HIAT web-site.
This Clicker5 grid is also available in the K and 1st grade English LA folders on the UDL Share space as well (only MCPS staff can access).

Please post a response if you end up using this resource with students. How did it go? What improvements can be made to the Clicker5 grid?
