For Schools

Writing with Symbols 2000 can give extensive support to written language, helping writers see the meaning of words.

It can help to explain the differences between

• words that look the same (saw saw, spell spell)
• words that sound the same (hair hare, pear pair)
• as well as giving language support (drink drink, run ran, loud loudest)

It can help many other aspects of language development where images can assist understanding.

Symbols enable curriculum activities
where a student's limited text skill would otherwise hold them back.

Adult Learners - enabling involvement

Symbols aid understanding, which can increase involvement, choice and confidence. Adults use symbols for information signs, minutes of meetings, agendas, personal plans, study records and illustrating basic skills such as washing and other domestic tasks.

For those moving away from their family home, symbols can help gain an understanding of change, and of how other people can be of help. For using money, shopping, catching a bus, or writing to family and friends, supporting text with symbols helps comprehension and gives consistency.
