Overall Satisfaction with Read&Write

I use Read&Write to read to me as I type. This allows me to listen for errors in text and correct them immediately. I also like the annotation tools, which enable me to conserve paper. I encourage students to use the picture dictionary tool to help visualize words they do not understand. It has been a great help to our ELL students. We have a student who speaks little to no English, and he has used Read&Write to support him in the classroom.

Pros

  • read aloud
  • annotation
  • screen masking
  • improve inclusion
  • increased productivity
  • improved learning experiences
More students are able to engage in lessons.
We had a student from Honduras enroll at our school. I introduced him to Read&Write so he could have instructional support in the classroom. He gained translation access and could communicate with other students using this tool.
The Read&Write toolbar is easier to access than other products I have used.

We did not purchase premium support because our state department of education bought this program for all Arkansas public schools.
I have never had to contact Everway for technical support.

Using Read&Write

The icons represent their functions well. Students can easily choose the correct icon to meet their learning needs. The read-aloud function gives our low-level readers access to grade-level text. This is great, especially for our students who can comprehend grade-level text. Overall, it is user-friendly and a valuable tool for our students and teachers.
