Accelerating progress in literacy
The Skriva Stylus helps pupils write neatly and legibly and allows them to write over existing work without damaging the original. This feature has transformed engagement with writing tasks, as students find the stylus to be an intuitive tool. Notably, the ability to write overwork without fear of damaging the original has transformed the drafting process, enabling students to revise and refine their work with confidence.
The use of Skriva Stylus has significantly enhanced literacy skills. Students are more engaged in their learning, leading to improved comprehension and articulation of their thoughts. Additionally, the stylus has instilled confidence in students to make revisions and take ownership of their work.
Talking about the impact of Skriva Stylus, Chris said: "The Skriva Stylus has enriched the learning experience for students, providing them with a versatile tool to express their creativity and articulate their learning effectively. The Skriva stylus's integration into various subjects, particularly mathematics and literacy, has empowered students to communicate their understanding more clearly."
Using a stylus has improved handwriting skills by allowing students to practice writing easily. The stylus's precision and responsiveness enable students to focus on letter formation and fine motor skills. Additionally, the stylus's integration with educational apps, like handwriting apps and Showbie, has facilitated targeted feedback on handwriting, leading to accelerated progress.
Reducing Teacher Workload
With the ability to easily switch between devices, teachers can provide in-the-moment feedback across multiple iPads, enhancing the learning process. The stylus has also encouraged more independent thinking and decision-making among students.
