Overall Satisfaction with Read&Write

We use Read&Write for our high school students. All students have access to it, but we especially encourage students with a learning disability in reading or writing to use it to complete assignments. Some of our students have trouble getting their thoughts into words, or reading a large amount of text and Read&Write assists with this.

Pros

  • Research component (collect highlights)
  • Is very user friendly
  • Functions are clear and easy to use

Cons

  • Quirks when downloading the extension
  • The Read&Write bar doesn't always open for us
  • It's not always easy to know how to trouble shoot tech problems when they arise
  • It's a bit clunky at times to use
  • Improved work output
  • Improved efficiency
It has not worked seamlessly for us so it has not worked in this regard. Our school uses a microsoft platform which we have found is not always very compatible with Read&Write (even though there is an edge extension). It can be very frustrating when the technology doesn't work well and students don't tend to use it well then.
Screen masking and simplify page have both been functions that students with sensory/distraction challenges have found extremely helpful.
It has more functions than Speechify, however we find it harder to use overall.

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

Not sure

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?

No

Would you buy Read&Write again?

Yes

When students are trying to log into Read&Write but the tool bar doesn't open right away, students get frustrated and don't want to use it. We like the text to speech component for Read&Write, but we wish it could be used not online (for paperback novels). When the program works like it's supposed to and a student needs it for something online, it can be very helpful.
