After watching the videos on how Google Read & Write works, I can think of multiple students that I currently work with that would very much benefit from this tool. We have some students who are quite indepedent in the classroom, but have difficulty when it comes to reading and writing. This tool would be such a great alternative to having an EA dictate and spell words to a student to write down. This resource would allow for so much more independent work to be done by our students and it will give them a tool they can continue to use once they are out of high school.
Without having any first hand experience using this tool with students, I can also imagine that it would be immensly helpful for those students living with dyslexia or those that have difficulty writing. I just love how this tool allows students the ability to be so much more independent in the classroom! Even for students learning how to read, this would be a great tool for them to follow along with the words being read to them and increase their literacy skills (and they can do so independently)! I am a very big advocate for increasing independence amongst students because eventually they will be on their own without someone always there to prompt them or help them- and they need the proper skills to be successful when the time comes!
