Widgit Symbols
The Widgit Symbol Set consists of over 10,000 colorful, simply-drawn symbols, which each illustrate a single concept. The symbols have been designed specifically to support literacy and are used in many countries worldwide to support a variety of learners, including students with special needs, early learners, and those who do not have English as a first language.
The Widgit Symbol Set is organized into clear and simple categories and sub categories, for ease of reference and location. The symbols conform to a clear schematic structure to help learners develop their vocabulary independently.
The vocabulary illustrated by Widgit Symbols covers an extensive range of topics, including a wide range of curriculum areas such as Science and Math.
By adding Widgit Symbols to Clicker and ClozePro activities, you can offer a ‘helping hand’ to students who may struggle with text, by providing a visual representation of all the concepts illustrated by the words within text in the form of a ‘symbol language’. This visual aid, along with the aural support provided by the synthesized speech feature, provides valuable reassurance to students for any words they are unsure of.
