Dolch Word Lists

Communciate: Symwriter support for Dolch word lists.

This gives you the option in Communcaite: Symwriter to not see the symbols for words in a Dolch list.

The Dolch Word Lists were developed by Edward W. Dolch who found the 220 most common words that appear over and over again. These words are of course included in the standard wordlists for Widgit symbol programs. However, as students acquire these words, teachers may prefer to offer them without symbols in the writing software Communciate: Symwriter.

Widgit has made a set of wordlists that can be used as additional lists alongside the default list in Symwriter so that the Dolch words are not automatically symbolised.
