App Description

This large-print, early academic program is for beginning to advanced letter users using switch-assisted input. It uses an errorless learning method. Scan-A-Word works on identification, spelling, & word recognition (for reading).

Scaffolding (as much help as needed but as little as possible) is embedded so as to help those with significant cognitive challenges.

This program is designed for you to easily enter lists of spelling words/phrases for the learner to practice and be tested on.

WordLists consisting of hundreds of words/sounds/pictures are available from the developer's website at no charge.

Scan-A-Word has built-in scanning capabilities, as well as special feedback for blind learners.
