Are you recommending the right reading accommodations for the right students?

Denise DeCoste, Ed.D., and Linda Bastiani Wilson, MA, faced a challenge in their suburban school district—how to efficiently evaluate thousands of students for reading accommodations while making sure their recommendations worked. They knew they needed a systematic evidence-based process to help guide their work, but no existing frameworks were available. So they created their own!

After hearing the need from other districts, they graciously wrote their framework up and handed it over to us to publish. We brought it together with leveled reading passages and are making it available to you for FREE! PAR (Protocol for Accommodations in Reading) has only been available for a few weeks now, but the download rate is nothing short of amazing!

Join the hundreds of school districts who downloaded PAR in the last few weeks.

The PAR framework guides you to systematically make data-based reading accommodation recommendations—human reader, audiobook, or text reader. And, it’s a perfect complement to Read:OutLoud! Using PAR, you’ll not only have all the data you need to make recommendations for accommodations but you’ll also have concrete, consistent documentation for IEP meetings!

PAR Includes the Tools You Need to Be Successful!

•  Protocol—guides you in collecting data to compare independent reading, reading with a human reader and reading with a text reader
•  Reading Samples—provides eight reading passages (four narrative, four expository) and vocabulary questions for each grade level, grades 3rd through 10th
•  Quizzes—contains comprehension quizzes for each reading passage—factual, topic-related, inferential and vocabulary
• Multiple Formats—reading passages are available in Word, PDF and ePUB so that you can use them in Bookstream, Don Johnston’s cloud-based accessible eBook manager, or within your text reader

Using Snap&Read requires no training. Simply select text onscreen with Snap&Read, and it automatically reads the text aloud. Unlike other accessible toolbar programs that only integrate with a few specific applications, Snap&Read floats over any application or website (a lot like Co:Writer).

Snap&Read is a simple and affordable alternative to the more bulky accessible toolbar programs available.

"This student focused training was very effective. The kids were engaged and saw the relevance of the software to their lives. This led to a cascading effect; student focus led to student buy-in, which of course led to teacher buy-in."
Paula Gumpman, AT Coordinator, Knox County Schools, TN

“I got to experience the Student Coaching Workshop today with my students. I saw some of my students do things that they've never done. This is great, us learning together!” Laura Martin, Holston Middle School, Knoxville, TN
