I had a previous Clicker (3 or 4?) I tried with ds on school's recommendation but ds found it a bit slow and clumsy. Never used it much despite HEing at the time as we were abroad. Probably great for some things but not his dyslexia - found it too limiting. Can you go into into a school and let your ds have a go on it?

I have had a go on friends laptop and thought it looked good, school are starting to useit too.

what is it? ds2 has dyspraxia and really struggles with reading and writing. is it something which might be of benefit to him?

We've got it too but I don't use it as much as I should with my daughter. Maybe a new year's resolution coming up! I think it is good and would recommend it.

Cherry monster, you make a grid with particular words and it allows sentence building by clicking on the words and reading them back. Some of the words have pictures too to help reinforce.

Well I have ordered it.
Cherry if yo go to the Cricksoft website it gives you a demo.
I liked it because it reads back to you in a British voice!
DS is bing montored at school for dyslexia, so i am hoping this will help with his literacy
