 Bookstream Reading printed textbooks
can feel hopeless for your students with autism. To be successful, they
typically need the text to be read aloud and plenty of opportunities to
read. Bookstream gives your students anywhere access to their textbooks
on their iPads, smartphones, and laptops. And since Bookstream is fully
accessible, your students can use their text-to-speech software to read
the text aloud.

 Read:OutLoud 6 Studies show that
students with dyslexia perform better academically when they can hear
text read aloud and have opportunities to reread or revisit information.
This all time favorite text-to-speech software reads electronic text
aloud in a multi-modal (audio and visual) learning experience. It is the
number 1 assistive ‘classroom’ technology to deliver ‘digital’
accessible curriculum and textbooks. Reinforce students’ comprehension
and study skills with electronic highlighters, dictionaries, a
bibliographer and an accessible web browser. Reading comprehension
templates help students make meaningful connections to the instruction.
Students read more independently, take better study notes and capture
important information to organize, synthesize and interact with digital
text. Also check out the Read:OutLoud University Edition for students
with dyslexia in post secondary education.

Reading and Phonics for Early Learners
|
|
 Start-to-Finish Literacy Starters are computer and paperback books that use
professionally narrated stories to get your students with dyslexia engaged
and learning to read. Developed specifically for older non- and
beginning readers, your adolescent students can participate
in curriculum-tied topics that are also embedded with “social and life
skills” messages. Strong visual cues, concrete language, the three
levels of text that accompany each story set and vocabulary and picture
symbol cards, help you not only build literacy skills, but also
supplement and create alternative curriculum that meets state standards.

 Simon S.I.O. uses a personal tutor to
engage and deliver individualized phonics instruction and corrective
feedback. Progression through activities are based on performance so
students with dyslexia must master letter sounds, blends and word
families—rather than memorize them—before they can move ahead. Students
record and listen to their own voices to boost their reading confidence
helping them develop inflection and intonation.

 WordMaker improves the word-attack and
spelling skills of dyslexic students by providing highly interactive and
individualized instruction. Varied activities and corrective feedback
teach students to detect letter and word patterns. WordMaker leverages
the widely acclaimed Four-Blocks® Literacy Model approach; a perfect
intervention program for inclusion settings.
