by Crick Software
Packed with rich multimedia content that is perfect for both literacy and subject teaching
Requires Clicker 5 or higher for Windows or Mac
Explore the lifestyle of the Romans, learning about their gods, fashion and food, and then write about them. Read about the Roman invasion of Britain. Use the information to write about some of the changes to farming, homes and towns that were made during 400 years of Roman settlement.
Find Out and Write About The Romans information is presented in three levels of difficulty, designed to meet the needs of children with a wide range of abilities.
- Book One/Level One – The information is presented in short sentences. The associated writing grids enable children to work with sentence beginnings and endings to recreate the sentences from each information page.
- Book Two/Level Two – The information pages contain flowing text, and the writing grids offer a wider choice of words. This enables students to construct their own sentences.
- Book Three/Level Three – This level includes more in-depth information. The writing grids offer sentence starters and word banks than enable students to write an extended piece of text. Students use the keyboard as well as the grid as they interpret and respond to the text.

The unique Find Out and Write About series for Clicker provides a range of multimedia CDs ideal for literacy teaching. Early readers of all ages can research the non-fiction material and then use the associated writing grids to write about what they have learnt.
Benefits
Support students through curriculum focussed reading and writing activities
Each title contains an interactive talking book of carefully researched, non-fiction text. Children click the speaker button to listen to the whole text, or click on an individual word to hear it. Each page of the book contains a link to a Clicker writing grid that relates directly to that page, so children can write about the information they have just learned. Words are colour-coded to help writers compose sentences successfully.
Motivate all learners with differentiated materials
Each engaging title presents information at three levels, making the series suitable for emergent, struggling and fluent readers. At level 1, information is presented in short sentences and children use Clicker Grids to work with sentence beginnings and endings. At level 2, students construct their own sentences and have a wider vocabulary choice, whilst at level 3 they are presented with more in-depth information and grids that enable them to interpret and respond to the non-fiction text.
Enhance students’ learning outcomes
As they work their way through the information pages and writing tasks, students produce a significant piece of writing that demonstrates both their understanding of the reading material and their ability to work independently. This is highly motivating for all learners, particularly struggling readers and writers. Find Out and Write About is also ideal for enhancing the learning opportunities of your students with special needs. As with all Powered by Clicker resources, the series is completely switch accessible.
