Summer Reading & Assistive Technology!
School is out for SUMMER!
Summer Reading Programs are a great way to motivate your child to read over the summer. You can sign up for many programs by contacting your local library. It can be very helpful for struggling readers to be exposed to high-interest leveled text. However, this text can be very challenging for some students to decode and comprehend. Programs like Bookshare and Learning Ally allow you to download books while utilizing supports of text to speech and highlighted text. Audiobooks can be a great way to expose your child to text that is at their interest level while also providing additional supports for comprehension.
Voice Dream is one app that can be used to access books from Bookshare. Voice Dream is currently offering a discount on their Reader, Writer, and Scanner Apps! This discount will only be available until July 6th.
Please contact me if you are interested in learning more about different apps and programs that can support your child with accessing text in digital formats.
Happy Reading!
