Jessica's Resume Day 1

Clicker Sentences is a literacy app which is designed to help our students with literacy issues.  A simple sentence is presented to our students as a series of word tiles.  The student selects the words to form the sentence.  Teachers can scaffold the activity by providing a prompt in the form of a visual model, or an audio model of the completed sentence.  The process of selecting the words can be leveled by either allowing the students to only select the words in the order, to have the words in alphabetical orde, or to have the words in a randome order.   Students who would use this program are likely to struggle with sentences greater than 5 words, so it is important to ensure you are providing a sentence that is within the capabilities of the student.
In my classroom, I can see this being an app that I might use with some of my students.  I discovered that you can paste an entire paragraph, and the app will split it into different sentences.  This would allow the teacher to input an entire body of work in the app.
