Assistive Reading Tools
Students with identified reading needs or print disabilities may benefit from the use of a wide range of assistive technology (AT) tools to increase their reading competence. AT tools facilitate a student’s reading by assisting with phonics, reading fluency, vocabulary, comprehension and print processing. The tools range from low tech solutions such as colored overlays to high tech solutions such as electronic applications that read text aloud.
