Vocabulary in writingWrite the word

Type the word: letter by letter 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.

“Type the word” on screen: a word to write with the letters of the alphabet
The activity full screen, made in Lexikit with twelve animal words.

In 3 steps

  1. Add your words: with or without a picture, first names too.
  2. Choose the model: to copy, seen then hidden, or dictated. And the keyboard: the alphabet, the letters of the word, or with extra letters.
  3. Launch full screen: the child touches the letters, Lexikit checks letter by letter or at the end.

What you can set

  • Model to copy, seen then hidden, or dictation, with the picture visible or revealed at the end
  • Keyboard: the whole alphabet, only the letters of the word, or with extra letters
  • Checking letter by letter, or at the end
  • Words in capitals or print
  • Voice: in dictation the word is always said, with your recording or Lexikit's voice. “Listen” says it again

Ways to use it

  • In preschool, writing their first name or a word from the picture dictionary with movable letters
  • Moving from copying to writing from memory, without a pencil
  • A word dictation on screen, on the board or working alone

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.
