Co:Writer 4000 works on top of any word processor or program that accepts text.


 		 As students type, Co:Writer 4000 predicts words for the sentence, even if they use phonetic spelling. Predicted words are read aloud to help students reveal their word options.


 

How does it work? From the first letter a student types, Co:Writer 4000 generates possibilities for the word the student is thinking. Our industry-leading technology generates these predictions by combining knowledge of spelling (phonetic and dictionary), grammar rules, context clues, student history and letter cues. With this writing and typing support, students overcome mechanical barriers which then allows them to focus on conveying ideas

 

  Students write better
  • Emerging phonetic spellers get the word they want.
  • Developing writers create good first sentences that are grammatically correct.
  • Struggling students find the right word with fewer cues.
  • All students build vocabulary.


Topic dictionaries for curriculum-specific vocabulary
 

Co:Writer 4000 screen shot For each student or each assignment, a dictionary or group of dictionaries are designated as the source for the predicted words. A beginning writer may use a basic vocabulary dictionary so that only words they will likely know are predicted. A more advanced student writing a report would include a Topic Dictionary for a particular assignment. Dozens of Topic Dictionaries are included with Co:Writer 4000 and on the Don Johnston web site. Plus, teachers can create new Topic Dictionaries in less than 3 minutes from any electronic document.

 

FlexSpell™ translates phonetic spelling
Struggling writers who use phonetic spelling have a special support with FlexSpell. As a student types a word, Co:Writer 4000 not only predicts words consistent with the actual letters, but also words consistent with the sounds of the letters. Correct spellings are predicted and reinforced as students see, hear and use them.

Co:Writer 4000 technology helps students make appropriate word choices and write higher-quality sentences. It helps with correct subject-verb agreement, proper spellings, capitalization, appropriate pronoun and article use, customary word usage, correct word forms and word endings, popular phrases and proper noun usage like names and places.
