Word Creativity Kit is a creative writing sandbox for the poets and writers of the future. It’s a tool for helping students with creative writing and overcoming the fear of not being creative. The app gives the user a chance to think outside of the box, create found poetry, fill the head with new ideas and have fun.
In addition to being a powerful creative writing tool the app can be used to practice sentence construction, to increases vocabulary and to teach grammar to users of all ages.
It can therefore be useful in teaching and training English both to native English speakers as well as those learning it as a foreign language.

Word Creativity Kit is based on the concept of random stimulus in creative writing. Those are open-ended activities meant to stimulate creative and divergent thinking.
The possibilities are endless and in WCK the goal is to give you free reign to play with words and images to create whatever you feel like. Of course a teacher or a parent can come up with rules or tasks but the toolkit does not force it on the user. The main thing is to create, have fun and share your creations with friends and family if you feel like it.
You start your work with either a handful of random words or a selection of your own words. You can use all the starting words or just a part of them. You can add words, both by writing your own and by getting additional random words from a database of more than 4500 words. That way you can, for example, make the robot army funny instead of bald.
Your creation can stand by itself as a poem, joke or a story or you can use it as an inspiration to a larger project such as a whole book.
But it’s not just the words that make WCK fun. You can change the size of your words, tilt them or make them stand upside down. You can change colors, backgrounds and fonts. You can also decorate and enhance your creation by adding stickers from a diverse collection.
It is also possible to let Siri read the words in your project out loud, helping students that are practising reading or learning English as a second language.
All family members can have their own creativity book with a customizable look, name and description.
PRACTICE GRAMMAR WITHOUT KNOWING IT
One of the biggest advances of Word Creativity Kit is that all the words include all available forms and you can change its form in a simple way. This helps children to learn grammar and those hard to learn irregularities.
