Did you know that TextHelp's Read&Write has a few different looks for their text to speech tools? Here are some of the tools available in the different digital environments! Hover Speech is a favourite!

Out of sight + out of mind, right? Make sure this isn't happening to students! Have them pin frequently used extensions so there is a visual reminder to access them daily! #GoodForAllTech @SpecialEd_TVDSB
