ChooseIt! Ready-mades: Literacy

Overview

ChooseIt! Ready-mades is a collection of ready-made curriculum activities designed for learners who benefit from switch access, touch, mouse, or interactive whiteboard control. Activities are highly structured, self-correcting and ideal for SEND classrooms, therapy settings and home learning.

Each Activity Set contains at least 20 graded activities (each with 20–40 questions). They support curriculum access and assessment, with very small steps that suit a wide range of learners.

All activities are self-correcting, helping to build confidence and reduce frustration. A score summary appears at the end of each activity.
