Kerry found Widgit :

• Significantly reduces teacher workload“Quick visuals to make word lists; schedules with symbols for the lesson schedules; flashcards, bingo games etc”
• Significantly reduces attainment gap“You can make written materials accessible to students who are not yet so fluent in reading but can understand the task well when written materials are put into Widgit; students for whom English is not their first language don't need to waste time translating unknown vocabulary when they can see a little picture next to the word.”
• Significantly improves teaching efficiency“I don't have to explain all the new words to students who are new to English when there are symbols with written material. The translate tool helps easily and quickly to make dual language word lists to help pre-teach new topic vocabulary.”
• Moderately improves behaviour or wellbeing“For students who struggle with reading, frustration may lead to acting out. However, with Widgit documents, the students can more easily access the lesson materials and this helps them to stay engaged for longer. Also, visual timetables helps the students who need these to stay on-task.”
• Significantly improves attainment“I can give easy and accessible word lists or vocab charts that help the students to use a more varied vocabulary.”
