Overall Satisfaction with Read&Write
Read & Write is used with many of the dyslexic students. The cost of the software does limit the widespread use to all that actually need it.
- automatically populates to screen
- highlights words as it reads a passage
- online dictionary
- Cost is too prohibitive
- I'm going to miss Fluency Tutor
- downsize the pop up menu/bar
- It's been a game changer since 1999.
- Wish it was a district purchase instead of based on # of students.
- Wish the price was more reasonable.
That would be nice.
Chrome has the Select to Speak built into Chromebooks, for free.
