• Auditory feedback

Unlike other software packages that are purely assistive in nature, ReadOn incorporates specific learning strategies (refer to the "Learning Vortex") to help people overcome reading problems. In other words ReadOn helps a person learn to read, as well as being an assistive tool.

Reading is a complex process and when this process is not mastered, students will struggle to become independent readers. Regardless of reading level, ReadOn allows the student to experience reading with minimal supervision and support. Mistakes can be made and risks taken hopefully resulting in an increased willingness to read, as well as improved reading ability and a boost in self esteem.
