    Read&Write is especially well-suited to supporting students with reading accommodations during independent work, content-area instruction, and written-response tasks. In my 5th-grade classroom, one of the most effective scenarios is during science and social studies lessons, where students are expected to read complex informational texts independently. There can also be occasional challenges when websites, PDFs, or testing platforms are not fully compatible with all Read&Write features.

    I think it works great as a part of lesson. Sometimes teachers use it as a whole period lesson and I don't think that's effective. I also find that students like to use it to test themselves so it works well as a self study tool. I do think Kahoot! has a lot of options for responses which is great.

    Pros
    Everway (formerly Texthelp and n2y)
    • Creates vocabulary lists for students that include symbols, definitions, and space to add additional notes or images (a staff favorite)
    • Intuitive word prediction that supports spelling, grammar, and reduces the number of keystrokes needed
    • Text-to-speech on any digital text using the regular reader or screenshot reader, making almost any content accessible

    • Useful for either, in-person or online classes: it can work from a projector or screen in in-person classes, or by sharing the screen in online classes.
    • Excellent to get an idea of the understanding or knowledge level of a group of people: depending on the intention of the game, the professor or person in charge of it can make and change the questions to address certain points.
    • Easy to use for both professors and students: Kahoot is intuitive, simple, and fun to use.
    • Interactive and engaging: Kahoot is a game designed to work as a tool for professors, which makes it perfect to use with students.

    Cons
    Everway (formerly Texthelp and n2y)
    • I would like to use the practice reading aloud tool more, but the kids that I work with have a hard time understanding the concept. I think that, while there are a lot of tools available, sometimes they are hard for younger students to understand.
    • The hover to read function is nice as well, but my students struggle with the fact that if you move the mouse once it starts reading it will start all over in a new area. It's not as smooth as I would like it to be.

    • Having sometimes large classes means that I cannot use Kahoot! as it only allows a very limited amount of participants.
    • The above is the main issue and other competitor platforms (Mentimeter) do much better on this
    • There is also very limited choice with the basic account in terms of types of questions. Some sort of corporate license might help Universities purchasing the advanced subscription (which costs too much for a single professional) and have access to all the features.

    I'm just really impressed with the software and the access it gives to learners who are used to coming up against barriers in education. It's a quick-fix for a learner - something they can access usefully and productively with very little training. I also love that learners can access Read&Write on their devices at home - that really is a game changer.

    Usability
    Everway (formerly Texthelp and n2y)
    I am giving this an 9. Not a perfect score because working on PDFs is better but not yet as easy as I need for it to be. Working with many students who have executive function challenges, I need a smooth simplistic access method. We are not quite there yet for writing on PDFs. Overall the toolbar on Read&Write is super easy to access and I love that the suite includes several tools on the toolbar providing a solution to many accessibility challenges.

    The site's currently layout feels busy. If you are not a seasoned Kahoot user, it is easy to be distracted and overwhelmed by the information presented. I would not recommend this site to a novice computer user. If the user is tech-savvy and willing to navigate the help topics provided by the site, lessons and games can be created more easily with time and practice.

    The support team at Texthelp is excellent. They're all super helpful and open to feedback and new ideas. Still, more importantly, they are ultimately fully committed to aligning with us and ensuring they help us provide the best education possible. Furthermore, they're open to new features and always communicate this incredibly well.

    The information that Kahoot shares on its blog and support center is updated frequently and provides many ideas for ways to use the platform. I have personally received timely support from Kahoot for any issues I have encountered. Their dedication to their users is amazing. The company is incredibly receptive to suggestions or ideas from their community.

    It took a solid 2 weeks for R&W to work on our students chromebooks even after reaching out to tech support. The toolbar was greyed out and not accessible to students. Took a long time before tech support helped us solve this problem.

    We are still learning how to use Equatio. I am not a mathematician and therefore I am finding understanding it a bit more difficult. Once I understand how to use it I will be able to cascade it down. My hope is that it will be as useful as Read & Write

    I forgot the names of the other products like Kahoot. I think that summarizes how close I am to favoring Kahoot within this category. In our field when it's webinar time we always look forward to Kahoot sessions in between or at the end of the session. It is great to have Kahoot during these times

    The pricing is reasonable. A lower tier with just screen reading and basic functions would be nice, but not a deal-breaker.

    • We use the free version so there is definitely ROI for us.
    • It provides easy access to a quiz feature without having to use complicated software.
    • So many people are using it now that some students seem to be getting a little "over it."
