First Keys 3

First Keys 3 provides a fun introduction to the keyboard by using speech, phonics and Widgit Symbols in colourful and engaging letter exercises to teach literacy skills.

You can choose from the wide selection of over 80 activities included with the program or create your own activities using the straightforward and intuitive editor. First Keys was developed by Widgit and Sensory Software.

Create your own exercises
You can make spelling exercises to support literacy activities, curriculum topics or personalised learning. With the new teacher interface, text lists and letter rules can be merged to create new exercises containing relevant topic words and tasks.

Choose individual options
Each user has their own options and settings that can be controlled using the editor, including the degree of hint support provided during exercises. Users interact with the program either by using the keyboard or by clicking letters with the mouse.

Monitoring progress
Teachers now have the opportunity to see detailed tracking of user progress. Reports showing exactly where users are struggling are generated so that activities can then be structured to provide the highest learning impact.
