Picture It
by Slater Software, Inc.
Students who can identify pictures but not words, need adapted reading materials to have successful literacy and reading experiences. But adding pictures to text is a very time-consuming task— until now. Picture It adds pictures to text in the least amount of time. Teachers type or import text, then the program automatically adds the pictures all at once. Teachers print out documents for classroom use. Picture It turns classroom text into meaningful literacy experiences and students develop reading skills.

Customize picture/word connections, sizes and speech to meet needs of beginning writers
by Slater Software, Inc.

Students with disabilities lack beginning writing experiences because they can't hold a pencil, draw pictures or make letters. However, beginning writers can pick pictures from an on-screen display to communicate or express meaning. PixWriter is the easy-to-use early writing intervention that lets students write by selecting pictures or by selecting words supported with pictures. Built-in speech gives students immediate feedback on the selections they make or lets teachers create talking documents for early reading experiences. For very beginning writers, PixWriter is the easiest talking picture-writer there is. PixWriter is also the easiest and fastest picture-writer for teachers to use. To create picture-keyboards, teachers simply type words and the pictures are automatically inserted. PixWriter is the fast and easy-to-use tool that will let your students have successful early writing experiences.
