My Take
I liked how the words read out loud were highlighted as they were said. This helps the student to read along instead of just listening. I did not like how students could choose themselves if they wanted the text read out loud. Sometimes, I would not want my students to have that option because I would want them to read it for themselves.
How I Use It
This tool can be used to lead lower level readers through age-appropriate texts. Readers can annotate texts as the read or have the text read out loud to them as they read along.
