Overall Satisfaction with Read&Write
We use Read&Write for our students from year 7 to year 13 on their chromebooks, where the provision is deemed beneficial by the SENCO. Students use the software in lessons and for homework and if they qualify they will use it in public exams. Students use it to aid comprehension of text and to help with their learning.
Pros
- Helping students comprehend large blocks of text
- Help any dyslexic students with their reading
- Provides a quick way to look up words they do not know (not in exams)
Cons
- The interaction between Read&Write and Exam write pad could be better
- Having to use orbit note for PDF files is frustrating and confusing to some students
- We have saved a considerable amount of teaching assistant time as they no longer have to act as readers
- Some students have been given confidence and independence by usy software that can take forward in their future work or studies
Students have access to the Read&Write extension on their chromebooks, though the Obitnote extension is less reliable.
In my exams roll this has made a huge difference, as we can put multiple students with Read&Write in one room, where they used to be in separate rooms with a human reader.
