Crossword

Building vocabulary is key to enhancing reading comprehension, and crossword puzzles are one of several strategies for accomplishing this. The itslearning crossword-builder is designed to reduce the time needed to create a crossword to the absolute minimum. Simply fill in the form with words and clues, and the app generates a crossword in a split second.

And why not let your students create their own crosswords? This can double the value of the tool, as the students are required to think twice: first when coming up with a keyword and again when providing an explanation for it.

The free app for generation of the crossword puzzles was developed during the 2012 itslearning developer festival.
