Overall Satisfaction with Read&Write

It can read words and sentences out loud, which helps us understand tricky words. We also use it to highlight important information and check our spelling when we write. It’s like having a helper on the computer that makes reading and writing easier and more fun!

Pros

  • Reads digital text out loud to students.
  • Lets students highlight key information in different colors and then gather it all into a new document.
  • Shows a picture to match the meaning of a word.

Cons

  • The toolbar has many icons and features, which can be visually overwhelming for younger learners.
  • The speech-to-text tool sometimes struggles with young voices, unclear articulation, or classroom background noise.
We push out the extension and it makes it so easy for the kids to use.
Children who have difficulty reading highlight the passage and it will read it for them.
It is similar but Read Naturally was costly.. I do know your prices are increasing significantly and am extremely nervous about this since the increase wasn't budgeted for.

Do you think Read&Write delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Read&Write's feature set?

Yes

Did Read&Write live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Read&Write go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Read&Write again?

Yes

During a reading center, a student selects a nonfiction article in Google Docs but struggles with decoding longer words. They use Read&Write to have the text read aloud, following along as each word is highlighted. When they encounter unfamiliar vocabulary like “migration”, they use the picture dictionary to better understand the concept.
