Overall Satisfaction with Read&Write

I help teach students how to access their academics through Read&Write. We have about 40 kids actively using it on our caseload and my job is to teach them how it can help. We use it for students who have specific learning disabilities, specifically dyslexia, and it helps them immensely to independently access their work.

Pros

  • Speech to text
  • Text to speech
  • Word prediction

Cons

  • I would like to use the practice reading aloud tool more, but the kids that I work with have a hard time understanding the concept. I think that, while there are a lot of tools available, sometimes they are hard for younger students to understand.
  • The hover to read function is nice as well, but my students struggle with the fact that if you move the mouse once it starts reading it will start all over in a new area. It's not as smooth as I would like it to be.
  • We use this with students, but as far as help overall, it has helped with time management, inclusion, performance, and efficiency.
  • Students are able to better understand what they are working on and are able to respond effectively.
It's worked wonders for all my students. They use it on Chromebooks and are able to access emails, Google Docs, Google Slides, Google Classroom, and Kami. It has improved their performance immensely.
I had a student who was attempting to take a quiz on Google Classroom by himself without using Read&Write. He was supposed to watch a video and then answer questions based on what he watched. I saw him put in a few random (and wrong) answers, but when I showed him how to use the text to speech tool, he corrected his answers.

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?

Yes

Did implementation of Read&Write go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Read&Write again?

Yes

I like how diverse the tools are and that they can target specific needs while also being broad enough to be used by everyone. I have students who use the Co-Writer tool to write emails to their teachers. I have students who get tired from reading on their own and will use the text to speech aspect of it. I do have students who have cerebral palsy and it is hard for the program to understand their voice, so they have a hard time using the speech to text part.
