ScootPad Teams Up with ReadSpeaker

ScootPad, an online learning platform for elementary grades, and ReadSpeaker, an online text-to-speech service, have paired to enable voice and read-aloud support for students on ScootPad.

ReadSpeaker's "click & listen" feature enables all K-5 students using ScootPad's platform to instantaneously listen to its math and reading practice questions and answers. Hearing the questions and having each word or sentence visually highlighted at the same time helps students improve word recognition skills and vocabulary, as well as reading comprehension, fluency, accuracy, and concentration.

ReadSpeaker makes online educational content more accessible to students with cognitive issues, learning difficulties, and/or vision problems. ReadSpeaker's online text-to-speech solutions also help students for whom English is a second language. Additionally, it provides multitasking opportunities for learners and portability of content to other devices, such as smartphones and tablets.
