Typing feedback is a setting on the iPad that allows students to have letters, words, or both, read aloud as they are typed.
Typing Feedback can support students to:
build independence
strengthen comprehension and fluency
boost confidence in written work
improve editing and revision processes
increase focus and attention
For step-by-step instructions on how to turn on and use Typing Feedback on an iPad, begin by choosing the iPad Operating System:
With Typing Feedback, students in the TDSB can:
write stories. When typing in an app like Notes, the iPad can say each letter or word out loud. This helps students listen and check if the letters or words sound correct.
check spelling. Students can check spelling for words they find difficult.
answer questions. Typing Feedback can help students type answers to reading or math questions and listen to check their work.
type journal entries. While writing a journal entry, use Typing Feedback to hear letters and words and make changes if needed.
learn new words. Students can use typing feedback when learning new vocabulary words in Science or Social Studies.
