WordBar by Crick Software

Another application that worked very well for my grandson was WordBar. It gives a student grids with appropriate vocabulary for a writing assignment. It comes with many grids or you can create your own. Anthony really liked the High Frequency Word Bank. It has 30 cells for each letter on tabbed pages. Clicking on a word enters the text into the document.
Many students that I work with do very well with word prection software, but Anthony was far more comfortable with a static list of choices. Here's a screen shot of the program. Check it out at WordBar.

Jane,
That is an important point - some students will do better with a static list of words pertinent to the topic. Thanks for reminding us that we need to keep the "I" in IEP!
