    Students are working on an activity. Part of it involves reading on a screen on their laptop or Chromebook. 
    A student realizes that they need some help.
    They grab headphones out of their pocket or backpack.
    They pull up Immersive Reader in a program or app that supports it. Immediately:
    • They can hear the passage dictated. 
    • It can be translated into a language they're more confident using. 
    • They eliminate distractions, break up syllables and make the text easier to use.
    How much teacher support does it take for the student to do this? Zero. (After the student knows how to access it.
    How much attention does it call to the student that they need help? Zero.
    How much does it empower the student and help them to self-support their struggles? A ton.
