Letter keyboard: write the word on screen
The picture, the model word, and a keyboard of letters. The child touches the letters in order: the word is written before their eyes. First by copying, then from memory, then from the voice's dictation.

- Launch full screen: the child touches the letters, Lexikit checks letter by letter or at the end.

Frequently asked questions
Does a computer keyboard work?
Yes: letters typed on the keyboard count like the keys on screen. Handy with a projector and no touch screen.
What does “With extra letters” do?
The keyboard shows the letters of the word, shuffled, plus a few extra letters: the child has to recognise the ones in the word.
With the same words
Mystery wordFind the word's letters on the alphabet. The picture helps, or appears at the end.
Write the wordCopy the word next to its picture, or write it from memory as a silent dictation: one box per letter, then the line.
