SOLO comes with Write: OutLoud, Read: OutLoud, Co:Writer, and Draft: Builder. Co:Writer 4000®: A word processor with an assistant. This software predicts words as the student is typing. These predicted words and sentences are spoken before being transferred to the word processor so the student gets immediate feedback.

Students with: Illegible handwriting Very poor phonetic or inventive spelling A physical disability that makes typing difficult Difficulty translating thoughts into writing

Co:Writer Overview Video

KinestheticAuditory Visual

Kids can actually draw and fill in diagrams showing how their information fits together, in a linear or non-linear manner. Kids are using a computer mouse to physically move information and pictures around, and they are using a keyboard to type. Kids can use the text to speech feature to help auditory learners and those who don't read as well.
