Grant for software
Woy Woy Public School has received a grant of $3194 for a literary support software package.
School principal Ms Ona Buckley said: "The Literacy Support package is called Wynn Literacy Software and is an innovative literacy software tool designed to enhance success for individuals with reading challenges and writing difficulties," Ms Buckley said.
"The software was developed with the help of special educators and individuals with learning difficulties such as dyslexia, dysgraghia and ashasia.
"By using a bi-model approach, simultaneous highlighting of the text as it is spoken, Wynn transforms printed text into understandable information that benefits readers of all ages including English Language Learners, struggling readers and children with ADD of ADHD.
The money came from Woy Woy Leagues Club through a Community Development and Support Expenditure grant.
