Finding words that rhyme
Children find rhyming words on the grid, and write a simple sentence
with them.
Children can listen to the words without writing
them by clicking with the right mouse button, not the left. When they
have chosen their matching pair, they write a sentence. Clicking the
loud speaker at the end of the sentence sends a full stop to Clicker
Writer, which will then read the whole sentence back to the child.
| How to make
this grid yourself |
|
Create the grid using File
> New Grid. Click 'Custom..'
in the templates dialogue box
|
 |
Select a 6 across by 2 down grid and change
the background colour as you require.
Organise the grid to look the way you want by deleting cells that
are not required. To delete a cell hold down the Ctrl key and
click the left mouse button over the cell (or cells) required.
Now go to the toolbar at the top of the screen and click
Grid > Delete > Delete Cell.
If you need to insert a cell go to Grid
> Insert > Insert Cell.
To reposition and resize cells on the
grid, hold down the Alt key and click the cell with the left mouse
button. Drag in the middle of the cell to move it. Drag at the
bottom right hand corner of the cell to resize it.
|
|
Type the text you require into the cells
by holding down the shift key and clicking the left mouse button
over the cell.
|
|
To insert the loud speaker symbol in the final
cell, hold down the shift key and click the cell with the right
mouse button. Click the 'Graphic...'
button to select your own graphic for the cell.
The loudspeaker symbol shown is found
in the Icons folder and is called 'hearicon.bmp', but you can
use any graphic you like.

|
| Finishing the sentence. |
|
When the loudspeaker is clicked, the cell
sends a full stop to finish the sentence for the children. This
will make Clicker Writer speak the sentence back to the children.
The cell should also start a new line ready for the next sentence.
To do this, hold down the shift key and click
the cell with the right mouse button. The Cell Properties dialogue
box appears. Click the 'Send'
tab.
|
Click in the 'Send
text' button and in the long white box type a full stop.
Click to put a tick in the 'Add Return'
box. This will force a new line to begin at the end of every sentence.
Save your grid when finished. |
