Read&Write is a piece of software that works as a ‘toolbar’ in conjunction with familiar tools such as Word, Google Docs and web browsers. It offers a range of powerful support tools to help students gain confidence with reading, writing, studying and research:
- Text-to-speech to hear words, passages, or whole documents read aloud with easy to follow colour highlighting
- Dictionary definitions and pictures to identify the meaning of words
- Word prediction to offer suggestions for the current or next word to build writing skills
- Collection of highlights from text in documents, from a web page or PDF for summarising and research to help revision
An easy to follow installation guide is attached. Remember, when logging in for the first time choose the ‘Microsoft Account’ option and enter your school email address (asmyth123@c2ken.net).
