Linda Burkhart’s Switch on Literacy

Switch On Literacyis an extensive collection of ready-made activities and easily customisable templates designed for emergent literacy learners. Topics covered include: playing and writing with the full alphabet, co-planned failure-free writing, games to explore phonemic and emergent literacy concepts, self-selected reading/listening to books, homemade videos, and pre-selected YouTube videos. Most activities include child-directed ways to re-read their writing, print, save and email their creations to others.

If you have any questions about the different versions of Mind Express or the Standalone options, please feel free to email us at atinfo@dtsl.co.nz or call us on 0800 864 382.


Activities are designed to include strategic, teaching feedback throughout, providing targeted learning opportunities. While some activities may have some correct and incorrect options, this is not intended to be used for testing. Instead, the customized feedback provides additional learning opportunities. 

The creation of personalized “launchers” enables child-directed, independent access to freely explore activities that may be updated as student’s skills improve and interests change. Content related to what is being studied in class may be added in a variety of ways to provide exposure, practice, and extension.

All activities are designed specifically for two switch access with no timing and contain auditory support that provides access for individuals with mild to severe visual challenges, including CVI.
