What is Clicker?
Clicker is an award-winning, innovative reading and writing support tool that is designed for the primary classroom to help children of all abilities achieve rapid and permanent gains in their literacy skills.
To aid schools as they support pupils’ learning needs, Clicker uses the principles of Universal Design to cater for all learners, particularly those who struggle to access the curriculum or demonstrate their knowledge due to physical or learning difficulties. Clicker is used successfully worldwide to support learners with dyslexia, autism, EAL and pupils who access their learning through devices such as switch or eye-gaze.
At the heart of Clicker sits a child-friendly word processor that offers extensive support to emergent, developing and struggling readers and writers. Using Clicker, pupils can capture their ideas, demonstrate their knowledge, and achieve writing success across the curriculum.
With Clicker, every child can improve their writing outcomes and become a more independent learner.
Clicker subscriptions can be accessed on a range of devices, including Windows/Mac and iPad/Chromebook.
Clicker subscriptions are accessed on iPads and Chromebooks via the Clicker Apps - which include Clicker Writer, Clicker Books, and Clicker Talk.

I like putting all my ideas into boxes and then pasting them onto a different page so I can write my story. Benjamin Y5 I like being able to type my notes and then convert them to a story. It is a bit easier than regular typing. Jack Y6
Beverley Barton found Clicker:
- Significantly reduces attainment gap“improved creative writing”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“improved creative writing leading to confident pupils and happy parents”
- Significantly improves attainment
- Does not significantly build student knowledge“The reason I gave two stars was because I don't use that part of Clicker so therefore it has no impact on my students. If I used the Learning grids, then I am sure they would have an impact on my students.”

Excellent piece of software. 10+
Angie Smith found Clicker:
- Significantly reduces attainment gap“Clicker can meet the needs of a multitude of SEND.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“Clicker can be used by the whole class for all levels of attainment. Easier to create resources and differentiate. Access to 3000+ free educational and cross curricular resources.”

- Significantly builds student knowledge“3000+ free resources in Learning Grids across whole curriculum. Many non-fiction books and activities.”
