Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use R&W with all students in our district from K-12. I am not on the business end of this, so I am unaware of any business issues. I support students and staff in using these supports to help increase independence and success in the classroom.

Pros and Cons

wide range of literacy supports/tools that are equally developed and helpful.
I particularly appreciate the highlight and collect highlight tools. They help with a variety of needs.
The ease of use is amazing, along with the integration with Google environment.
These powerful supports are embedded so well that students who like to look like their typical peers don't mind using them in the classroom.

The text-to-speech option sometimes gets glitchy. The sound doesn't always match up to the visual feedback.
When creating lists of vocabulary, it is often difficult to highlight single words. Also, when using word lists, the last word is often left off.

Return on Investment

My students feel more confident working independently within the general education classroom because they have tools that help them succeed.

Support Rating

The support team is always readily available and very helpful. However, the support that is available on the website is also amazing, and oftentimes, I don't need to contact support for further assistance. Great job!

Platforms and Devices

Our goal is always to make students successful on multiple platforms and settings. R&W truly helps with that!

Alternatives Considered

We have always used R&W for as long as I can remember. We selected this for the wide range of supports and the low cost to the district.

Likelihood to Recommend

This is the perfect option for k-12 schools. Kids who are hesitant to use AT tools in the classroom for fear of looking different are more open to R&W because it is seamlessly embedded within the Google environment. In addition, the low cost allows all students and staff to have these supports, regardless of need. No one is left out, which helps kids not look different in the classroom.

Great Supports for Kids.
