Writing with Symbols 2000

Communicate: In Print 2

Communicate: Webwide

SymbolWorld is a website created by Widgit Software, dedicated to people who use symbols. It has material for all ages and includes personal contributions, stories and learning materials. eLive is an on-line magazine within SymbolWorld especially for older readers.

SymbolWorld is designed to have clear easy navigation with large buttons for any links.


Creating your own symbol materials

The information on SymbolWorld is supported by the Widgit Rebus Symbols and is created using Writing with Symbols 2000 v 2.6 and Communicate: In Print 2.


Speaking Symbolworld

Widgit has created a new Web Browser, Communicate: Webwide. If you have Webwide you can hear all the articles and stories on SymbolWorld read out.

Most common Screen readers do not read the alt tags in a web page, so unfortunately do not work with symbol rich sites.

 

About SymbolWorld 
Site map - with descriptions of each story
Introduction - outlining the main sections
Using the site - description of the navigation etc.

 

The most important feature of the site is that the content comes from YOU.

Send us your student's stories, news, bits and bobs, and they will see their names in print. You can send it as WWS files, html files saved from WWS, or just as print-outs.
