Word Prediction

Word prediction software can help a user during word processing by “predicting” a word the user intends to type. Predictions are based on spelling, syntax, and frequent/recent use. This prompts students who struggle with writing to use proper spelling, grammar, and word choices, with fewer keystrokes.

Open the Read and Write Toolbar. Click on the "globe" icon on the toolbar to access this feature. As seen in the video below, word prediction can be used in concert with the dictionary or picture dictionary for those students who require more support.
