Every child learns differently. 



For some of our students, an accomodation such as "having text read aloud" can allow the student to better demonstrate his or her knowledge in a content area.



Now that Chromebooks are present in all of our district buildings, we can easily offer "Select-to-Speak".  Select-to-Speak is a Chromebook setting that once set up will follow the user from Chromebook to Chromebook.


Once the initial setup is configured the student will only have to hit 2 keys to hear any text that he or she highlights. 



Below is a video that will walk you through the setup (Only 5 clicks!)
