SymbolWorld is a wonderful resource from
Widgit that we constantly share in our training sessions and workshops.
SymbolWorld has short articles – science, social studies, recipes, jokes and more -- carefully symbolized and written in a clear, simple style.
eLive magazine pages have current events, reviews, sports stories from around the world also symbolized and considerately written.
Teachers have told us they use
SymbolWorld articles for research, class discussions and modeling writing. Readers of
SymbolWorld vary from adults with cognitive challenges, to kids with reading disabilities to students who are new to English.
Web-based
SymbolWorld works beautifully on any browser, including iPads or other tablets.
