In a nutshell I think parents can buy it for £90 last time I looked. Schools can buy up to 5 licences at a time?
DS has been using Clicker at school since Sept. I have it downloaded here on his laptop so he can do "homework"
He started Juniors not reading or writing or spelling.
This week alone he has brought home a complete story which he made up about dinosaurs and a cat. Also a certificate showing at end of sept he had learnt 25/100 1st 100 words and now at November he has learnt 42/100 of the 1st 100 spelling words on curriculum.
He still doesnt "write" as I want to concentrate on the reading and spelling so the interest is there and maybe the writing will come. That said he wrote out his Dads birthday card from start to finish so we are getting there.
You are able to adapt it to suit your own childs interests to aid learning by way of programming in sentences (to put in order/fill in with keywords etc) download pictures of interest to make comics and stories. As they write you can have predictive text on so the child can read down the list and pick the word they think is correct, replay and there is a voice that reads the sentence back to the child if you wish and so the child can correct it if it doesnt sound right. goes right up to 12 letter words I think maybe 14... but it can be set at your own childs ability which ds is no more than 4 letter words at present.
Anyhow I dont have shares in this one LOL just to say its well worth the money it is asking for :)
