Clicker is the award-winning literacy tool that enables pupils of all abilities to significantly develop their reading and writing skills. This year, Crick Software has released the latest version of this much-loved software – Clicker 6.

Whether you are working in mainstream education or a special needs setting, Clicker 6 is the perfect tool for helping all your pupils achieve reading and writing success.
