Do you have reading supports in ASSISTments for students who struggle with reading?

Q: Do you have reading supports in ASSISTments for students who struggle with reading?

A: Yes. ASSISTments includes a built-in Read Aloud feature that allows students to have problems, answer choices, and student supports read aloud directly within ASSISTments. This tool improves accessibility for students who benefit from additional reading support.

‍

• Students can Play (a), Skip backward (b), or Skip forward (c).
• Read Aloud settings (d) let students change the Voice (e) and Playback speed (f).
• Hovering over the problem text, answer choices, or supports will also read them aloud (below).

‍

Another great tool to support ELL students is the Google Translate browser extension.

This allows students to translate on-screen text into their native language, helping them better understand problems, directions, and feedback.

Using translation alongside the Read Aloud feature supports students who are developing reading fluency or working to comprehend content in English.
