Draft:Builder UK Version
Helps students build planning, organising and draft-writing strategies
Draft:Builder guides students through the process of writing a quality first draft using three skill-building steps:
- Outlining
- Note-taking and idea expansion
- Draft-writing
With this structure, students learn to generate ideas and organise them to form a cohesive paper. Draft:Builder is particularly useful to students with Autism Spectrum Disorders and Asperger’s who have trouble with organisation.
“We knew we were successful because the students wanted to come to the writing lab. Their self-confidence increased, and they were excited about writing!” Santina M Brown, AT Resource Teacher
“I introduced a student with autism to Draft:Builder SOLO this year. After a few short introductory sessions with this program, this student used the software on a consistent basis and used the tool while taking the state test. He was so excited to use this tool during the state test that he wrote all day long and his mother actually had to come and pick him up after school hours when he finished writing.” Karen, Assistive Technology Specialist, Fairfax, VA, USA
Draft:Builder is also ideal for students who have trouble transitioning from brainstorming to writing, because it breaks down the writing process into manageable steps.
Some of the Draft:Builder features include:
- Structures the writing process from brainstorming to the first draft
- Visual, repetitive process supports autistic students
- Bibliographer helps students cite references
- New speech engine
- Oxford Student’s Dictionary and Talking Spell Checker
- Locked text instructions
