Comprehension Support

People with reading difficulties use up much of their mental energy struggling to decode text. As a result there is little energy left to comprehend what is read, which is, after all, why we read in the first place. Without comprehension, students are likely to be discouraged from reading as there is little satisfaction, but instead frustration. ReadOn’s auditory feedback relieves the student of this constant decoding struggle, allowing comprehension to take place, and with it the motivation to continue reading.  

ReadOn can be customized to read words, phrases or paragraphs out loud.  

Ron Davis’ ‘Three Steps to Easier Reading’, included with this package, details the ‘Picture at Punctuation’ strategy. The goal of this strategy is full and complete comprehension. This strategy can be performed on ReadOn, by using the up and down arrows on the keyboard, to go through the text, phrase at a time.
