Overall Satisfaction with Read&Write

My district has included Read&Write on every student computer to provide universal access. The program strengthens writing, supports reading comprehension, helps students keep track of notes, and even helps English learners with English vocabulary. It also allows for our students with special needs to use the tools while still feeling like they fit in with their peers. My own daughter, who has dyslexia, went from writing one sentence with a sentence starter, to writing a 5 paragraph essay within a week of learning to use Read&Write. I love this program and would recommend it to everyone!

Pros

  • Speech to text
  • Text to speech
  • Line Reader
  • Visual dictionary

Cons

  • Lower the price for individual families that want to use it
  • Make the program work when offline as well
  • Using it to leave verbal notes on student work is confusing.
  • Unfortunately, we have struggled to roll this program out in a way that gets teachers excited, so I don't have a lot of data here.
I guess I don't understand this question.
My daughter, who has severe dyslexia, used to take up to half an hour to write a sentence with a sentence starter, and her letters would be a combination of capital and lowercase letters throughout the words. With the help of Read&Write, my daughter is now able to write 5 paragraph essays and expand her knowledge of writing skills thanks to Read&Write. Now, her Dyslexia doesn't hold her back in writing.
I have not seen the district use any similar products.

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

Again, I highly recommend this program for all students from our students learning English who benefit from the visual dictionary, to our students with orthopedic impairments who use the speech to text feature, from our students that use the line reader feature to keep track of where they are, to the students working at a lower reading level who can use the feature that lowers the text complexity. Even students in AP classes that are trying to take in lots of information have found the text to speech useful. I can't think of a student where this program wouldn't be helpful.
