Widgit - Stand 7

Symbols can significantly help pupils who are learning to read, learning new vocabulary, have a learning difficulty or speak English as an additional language.

Over the past 40 years, Widgit has developed a very large and widely recognised symbol set (over 20,000 symbols) which is used globally. 
Widgit Symbols enhance access to learning by reinforcing new vocabulary, providing choices, encouraging attention, supporting co and self-regulation, as well as, increasing confidence and independence.

The symbols support teaching and learning throughout the early years, primary and secondary curriculums to ensure that children can access and understand lessons as well as communicate effectively.
