Educator Appraisal

Charlie Kelman gives her evaluation of Widgit by Widgit. Here is a summary of what Charlie thinks: “Widgit is useful tool for creating symbols to text resources to aid communication with non-verbal and EAL children. However, it is quite expensive.”

Evidence Rating

Evidence suggests that symbols for literacy can help to improve reading comprehension and communication. Widgit Symbols is based on these theories and evidence. However, the evidence of how effective Widgit Symbols are as a resource for schools, is limited to low-powered studies.
