AT Resource: Word Prediction Software

Word prediction software can help students while using the computer by predicting the words the student is typing. This assistive technology benefits students who struggle with writing to use appropriate spelling and word choices, English language learners, and students who have fine motor challenges. Word prediction helps students formulate their thoughts while writing instead of losing their thought while trying to write it out on paper. In addition to writing, this AT supports reading while reading the words on the screen. Some word prediction software products found in schools are: Aurora Suite, Co: Writer SOLO, Speak Q. The resource most appropriate for my students in 7^th grade would be cowriter, because they can integrate this word prediction software from the computers we have in the library to the Ipads we have available for classrooms.
