Key's Quick Tips: Create Word Banks with Word Bank Universal

Key's Quick Tips are provided by Kelly Key, Assistive Technology Coordinator for Barrington 220. 

Each month, Kelly Key features a tool to support our students, including a short video demonstration. This month, a new tool called Word Bank Universal is highlighted.




Word Bank Universal allows you to create word banks in seconds. Students can use the word banks to help with writing, vocabulary, spelling, comprehension, and recall. Once you make a word bank, you can click on a word in the bank to insert it into the document, or hover over a word to hear it read out loud.

You can create a word bank by typing in a topic, or visit a website and it will create a word bank from the words on the site!

Check out this short video demo:
