at home Support
READ & Write on Glow
Read & Write software is available at home using your young person's Glow account. Read & Write is a literacy support software which can help with things such as reading text out loud, spellchecking and more...
Accessing this is a slightly different process to access this depending on whether you are using a Chromebook or a Laptop. Please see below for guidance on how best to do this.
Chromebook
To access Read&Write on a young person's own Chromebook at home, a new profile will need to be created at the usual log in screen.
Once this has been done, log in to the Chromebook as would usually happen in school (the only difference is to add @er.glow.scot on the end of their Glow username).
The Chromebook will then create a profile which looks identical to what our young people are used to in school.
There should now be a jigsaw piece in the top right of the screen which contains lots of helpful support apps including Read&Write.
