• Create your own jigsaw with any picture in seconds
  
• Make your own inset puzzles by cutting out pieces of a picture
  
• Create sequenced sets of activities easily
  
• Use for pre-reading as well as early reading activities

Pre-reading and early reading activities for all abilities

Jigworks is not only suitable for early years, it is also ideal for older learners with special needs. You can move the pieces without having to hold the mouse button down. It's also switch accessible, for those who cannot use a mouse. Jigworks' sound support makes it an ideal tool for pupils with English as a second language.

Jigworks activities are incredibly versatile. Many examples are included, and it's very easy to create your own with our easy-to-use activity editor. You can also download free resources from our LearningGrids.com website.

You can make interlocking jigsaw activities in seconds using any picture - such as those from your digital camera. Simply choose a picture from your computer and choose how many pieces you want, from 4 to 64. You can even include sounds for when you start the jigsaw, when you complete it, and when you pick up and place a piece.

You can also cut out pieces of the picture with our easy-to-use activity editor - these can be any shape or size. For early shape-matching activities, you can cut out simple shapes from a plain background, or cut out objects from a digital photograph. For early reading and writing exercises, you can add letters or words as pieces! You can make onset and rime activities, or puzzles where children piece together the letters of their name - and all supported by sound!

Jigworks also comes with the Crick Picture Library, so you can compose your own pictures and cut out pieces automatically - and you can also use your own picture libraries.

You can create sets of related activities, so children can work independently through a whole set - or you can work as a group, using an interactive whiteboard.

Windows: Compatible with Win98 and later versions
