SuperGrouper Tool Improves Categorization Skills
Students learn to sort, group, classify and compare by dragging words and symbols into SuperGrouper shapes that represent a topic or concept. In Kidspiration 2, students can now create Venn diagrams. And, with one click, they can turn any symbol into a SuperGrouper shape, adding more visual meaning to grouping activities.
Symbols Help Emerging Readers Communicate Ideas
Early readers and English language learners use Kidspiration's library of 1,200 symbols to convey ideas and relationships. The new Symbol Maker tool makes it easy for students to draw personalized symbols to include in graphic organizers.
Speech Supports Auditory Learners
Students make important literacy connections with the combination of written words and pictures, along with spoken words. By choosing the Listen tool, students can hear any text read aloud. They can also record their own words and narration.
Ready-Made Activities Get Students Started Quickly
Kidspiration 2 now comes with 75 built-in activity templates to help build standards-based skills across the curriculum.
Intuitive Navigation Makes Kidspiration 2 Easy to Use For All Ages
The starter screen interface makes it easy for young learners to begin a new project or open an activity and toolbars make it easy to find all the most commonly used features of Kidspiration 2.
