Thesaurus & Auto-Thesaurus

The Writer offers two vocabulary-building features at the touch of a key. The thesaurus allows students to check individual words for synonyms simply by placing the cursor on the word and pressing the Thesaurus key.

Now with the auto-thesaurus, The Writer will automatically scan their entire document for words that teachers feel are overused. Students simply type out their story then press Option-Thesaurus. The Writer automatically locates all words that are in the "over-used word list" and offers a variety of alternatives. This is a fantastic way to help students expand their vocabulary and express themselves more descriptively and accurately. Many over-used words are pre-programmed and the teacher can customize the over-used word list.

Teachers and students struggle when it comes to expanding vocabulary. Though most students have an understanding vocabulary numbering in the thousands, their written vocabulary is typically numbered in the hundreds. Rich, beautiful language will now be available to your students at the tap of a key. You won't believe what a difference this resource will make in your students' writing.
