Assistive Technology


This is software program called TextAloud 3. With this program, instead of reading emails, web pages, etc. you can listen to them! TextAloud 3 reads everything aloud to you. You can also download your daily reading to your iPod. I personally think this is an awesome program. It is not only helpful for those that have a hard time reading pages on the computer, but can be helpful for everyone!

If my school provided the money to buy this program for the classrooms, I would definitely use it! For younger classes, instead of having my students read websites, I would have them listen to the content. Younger students don't know very big words yet, and with this program they can be introduced verbally and visually to bigger words. This program can also be used to help visually impaired students as well. There are so many ways to use this program! Take a look at it! TextAloud 3
