Reminders for Speech to text should be used every time as a visual reminder

# data[].attributes.body
1. Think it: Before you talk, stop and think! This is actually the hardest step, so take your time.

2. Turn on mic

3. Say it: Talk naturally and clearly. Try not to talk like...a...robot!

4. Turn off mic

5. Check it: Use text-to-speech as a reading support. There will be no spelling mistakes so your ear or your eyes have to catch recognition errors.

6. Fix it: Decide whether to fix a few words or re-dictate the whole sentence more clearly. Use an editing checklist and other AT tools as needed.

Students with expressive language difficulties will need support and/or reminders to follow the steps for each sentence.

Starting with speech to text with single words (such as filling in the blanks on a worksheet) may be more successful to start with. Also, using simple one syllable words and building on the success from that. Names can be tricky for speech recognition.

2. Clusive™: An Accessible, Digital Reading Platform

Clusive™ is an adaptive and accessible web-based reader designed to engage students in independent reading. Based on the inclusive principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), Clusive scaffolds the development of reading skills for students in grades 5 through 12. Think of Clusive as a digital backpack of technology-supported reading materials that students can take with them wherever they go.

Clusive empowers student reading by transforming digital reading environments with features such as:

Choice of reading materials. Students can choose to read assigned books and articles, choose their own material and build personalized libraries, and take advantage of Clusive's growing public library.

Flexible display options. Students can discover settings that work best for their reading needs, such as adjustable text size, line and letter spacing, font choice, and color and contrast. Students build agency by finding their just-right-fit by testing and setting their own preferences.

Read-aloud capabilities. All of Clusive's content can be read aloud by text-to-speech software. Students can select the reading speed and voice.

Just-in-time prompts. Clusive has built in highlighting, note-taking, word knowledge and comprehension checks, an embedded glossary, language translation, and a personal word bank to support planning and meaning-making.

Social-emotional reflection opportunities. Unique to Clusive are social-emotional supports that encourage student's self-awareness of their growing literacy skills. There is adaptive content based on students' prior actions and responses, and the flexibility to opt out of support when students feel they are ready.

Progress-monitoring tools. In addition to a dashboard where students can view their own progress, there is also a robust dashboard for parents and teachers to see what their students have accomplished.

Easy access and sharing capabilities. Clusive can be accessed and shared from any device - no matter their location. It integrates with Google Classroom, and offers students and parents a simple sign-on option using their Google accounts.

A growing public library. Standards-aligned content is available on Clusive through public-domain books and Open Educational Resources (OERs). Teachers can also upload and share additional materials with students in this accessible, supportive environment.

Students can use Clusive to read assigned or free-choice books and articles, build their own personal library, and take advantage of Clusive's growing public library. Clusive's goal is to help learners build self-awareness through discovering, choosing, and using preferences that help build learning skills.

Rewordify.com simplifies difficult English. Enter hard sentences (or whole chapters) into the yellow box at the top of the page. (You can also enter a web site URL.) Click Rewordify text and you'll instantly see an easier version, for fast understanding. The reworded words are highlighted- click them to hear and learn the original harder word. You can change how the highlighting works to match the way you learn!

Do you dislike dictionaries because they're confusing and unhelpful? You'll love Rewordify.com's clear, easy-to-understand definitions-they change to match the original word or phrase's part of speech, verb tense, and singular/plural form, so they make sense. Our amazing Rewordifying Engine is what makes it all possible, and no other web site has it.

Want to see something now? Click Classic Literature at the top and start reading-easier.

Learn more words faster. Our exclusive Learning Sessions actively teach you words so you learn them. Any time you paste in a block of text, our software finds all the hard words, lets you pick which ones you want to learn, and then teaches them to you in a Learning Session.

A Learning Session isn't an online quiz: it's an effective, step by step process where you hear words and phrases, type them, and read them. The software re-teaches you exactly what you need when you need it, and moves ahead when you're ready. When you've learned a word, the site stops "rewording" it, so the site grows with you as you learn! Learn more about Learning Sessions.

Now you can easily get your students involved in their learning: let them select the text that interests them. Let them print and complete the activities with which they're most comfortable. Imagine each student learning vocabulary customized to his or her interests, while you have time to teach instead of typing. Could differentiation by interest or readiness be any easier? You can start doing it today, for free.

You never have to type another vocabulary list or quiz again.

Type (or copy-paste) in any block of text in the yellow box at the top of this page, click Rewordify text, and click the Print/Learning activities button. Here's how. You (or your students!) can select from a rich variety of quizzes and learning activities, with or without answer keys.
