Wriddle - Tech4Learning

Write, read, and illustrate a sentence.

Wriddle helps kids master these essential skills for learning and communication. Kids write a sentence, draw a picture to illustrate their sentence, and then record themselves reading the sentence. Kids practice reading, writing, and art skills through creative repetition.

Teachers get a collection of student work over time that demonstrates their development in all three disciplines. Imagine sitting with parents and showing three examples of writing and art from the last few months and for each example there is also their child's voice reading what they wrote. Parents and teachers get a tangible example of how kids are progressing over time.

"My kids would come home from school with a stack of papers each with a drawing and a sentence. I loved reading their creative spelling. But, something was always missing. Their voice! One or two ended up hanging in my office. Most ended up in the recycling. I figured there had to be a better way. A way that let me hear their voice, and involved less trees. A way I could look back years later and see their drawings, read their writing, and hear their voice.

It had to be as simple and straightforward as colored pencils and paper. No extra bells and whistles, no trying to be everything to everybody. That is Wriddle." Melinda Kolk, Designer of Wriddle.
