    Everway (formerly Texthelp and n2y)
    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.

    ProWritingAid
    • Fully equipped - the ProWritingAid tool gives you almost all the writing control you could ever need or want.
    • Ease of use - The ProWritingAid app has an intuitive dashboard and all the features and functionalities listed on the top bar. This writing assistant for online users offers you a great way to improve the content in just a few minutes.
    • Price: Compared to other online editing programs with grammar checkers like Grammarly, Ginger. ProWritingAid Premium is only $ 60 a year, which is affordable for most people.
    • Integrate Scrivener and Google docs - We've been waiting for this for a long time. Especially those who use Scrivener. Gdocs is not supported, yet the ProWritingAid fix on your text within your document makes it easier for you.
    • Style Editor - Comes with an attractive writing and editing tool.

    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.

    ProWritingAid
    • One of the websites I visit has troubles with the addon.
    • Another typical issue is that some of the "correction lines" that appear under the text do not match.
    • The only drawback is that in order to get good content, you must copy and paste it into a new document in My Home for ProWritingAid.

    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.

Still, more importantly, they are ultimately fully committed to aligning with us and ensuring they help us provide the best education possible.

    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

    • ProWritingAid is perfect if you have words that you use regularly that are not correct words, such as brand names, slang, or abbreviations. It is not necessary to correct each of these errors, just by clicking on "add to dictionary" ProWritingAid reminds that that word has to pass.
