Widgit has just launched a new series of iPad apps called 'Widgit Vocab'. These apps introduce and develop basic vocabulary around a range of different themes, and are specifically designed to help extend a user's vocabulary range with listening, speaking and reading activities, supported by Widgit symbols. They could be useful for a range of listening, comprehension and other types of language development work for learners at a pre / emergent literacy stage, who need picture support (including those who might happen to use other symbol systems for their AAC) .
There are currently eight apps in the series, covering a range of themes:
ourselves; around the home; supermarket; town; countryside; seaside; animals; time.
More information about these apps can be found on the Widgit website
You can download these apps now from the App store while they are at an introductory price of £1.99 each - probably only for a limited time - they will be £2.99 each after that it seems (so not a HUGE saving, but still worth going for..).
