What is Clicker?
Clicker is a literacy support tool that helps students engage with grade-level content and express their ideas more independently.
Why Clicker?
Clicker supports the full writing process — helping students plan, build, and revise sentences using speech support, symbols, and scaffolded writing grids.
Clicker Sentence Sets are pre-made, editable sentence building activities aligned to Unique Learning System's monthly Lesson 1 Leveled Books — for Elementary, Intermediate, Middle, and High School bands. Open them in Clicker on Windows or Mac devices, or in the Clicker Writer App on iPads or Chromebooks.
How ULS + Clicker work together
Even with a comprehensive curriculum like Unique Learning System, special educators often run into the same challenges week after week:
- Students in the one classroom can be working at very different levels — yet ULS provides a single set of materials per grade level band.
- Adapting ULS printables and PDFs into accessible tasks takes planning time you don't have.
- Some students disengage when content feels either too abstract or too basic for their current skills.
Clicker Sentence Sets match your current ULS unit and let students read and write at their own access level — with the scaffolds, symbols, and speech support built in. You adapt once, then use it with your whole class.
Three ways Clicker supports your ULS lessons:
- Access
Students with complex needs engage with ULS texts using speech, symbols, and customized scaffolds instead of sitting out or being handed a simplified worksheet. - Independence
Word prediction, Word Banks, and Sentence Sets help students write about ULS topics on their own instead of needing constant adult support. - Time back
Ready-to-use, editable sets mean you spend your prep time teaching and collecting data versus creating resources from scratch.
