Using Wixie to Build Literacy in Primary Grades
How to use Wixie's tools and curriculum library to support your emerging readers, writers, and speakers.
Wixie makes it easy for students to drag and drop, type, draw and record to build literacy in a range of modalities.
Wixie projects can also be started from a blank page for a constructive approach as shown in the samples below.
How to use Wixie's tools and curriculum library to support your emerging readers, writers, and speakers.
Wixie includes a library filled with phonics and phonemic awareness activities, like the ones in the Reading Readiness workbook below.
Students explore initial sounds as they write alliterative sentences and create illustrations that support and reflect their writing.
After listening to Students interview dinosaurs to demonstrate knowledge of animal characteristics, diet, and more.
Read Dr. Seuss's Fox in Socks and put your students in the driver's seat by asking them to use their knowledge of phonics to write their own tongue twister stories.
After reading Dr. Seuss's There's a Wocket in my Pocket, students create a class book using their own rhyming nonsense words.

Keeping things new and exciting during Phonics! Matching ar/or/ore words to pictures, putting words into sentences, and writing our own words on @wixie. Ss also made their own spelling word search. They will switch with a classmate and solve tomorrow! 👌💻🤩 #OPsharks pic.twitter.com/3Px2EMgOYc

Kinders review letters and their sounds by going on a scavenger hunt to find objects for each letter. Then they use the camera in Wixie to capture the object and create an alphabet book. @MrsRode @Jeffrey_hogan @elmwoodes pic.twitter.com/A1jCMrXnFi
