ABOUT CO:WRITER UNIVERSAL This version is for schools with a Co:Writer Universal license only. Users without a Co:Writer Universal license must purchase the Co:Writer app. HOW DOES CO:WRITER WORK? As letters are typed, Co:Writer predicts the intended word with a selection of word suggestions using powerful grammar-smart word prediction. These suggestions can be read aloud with a swipe.

CAPIT Reading: Learn to Read by Playing with Sounds (TK-2 | 5+) CAPIT Reading teaches students to read without “verbal instructions.” Native English speaking students and ELL students learn to read by intuitively creating letters, blending words, and assembling sentences. CAPIT Reading is a dynamic instructional tool that advances learners in phonics as they demonstrate mastery and automaticity of foundational skills. It is 100% Learning 100% of the Time. CAPIT Reading is not a game or “Edutainment.” It has no monsters, spaceships, or letter-eating-frogs. It has no currencies, badges, point system, or any kind of extrinsic rewards. It is what you would expect from a curriculum that teaches students to decode, write, spell, and read with fluency and comprehension. When students learn to read by “Playing with Sounds,” they stay engaged, entertained, and motivated to level-up. CAPIT supplements all core Language Arts curricula by offering self-paces phonics instruction and a complete writing component that supports ELL, struggling and gifted students.
