Once you have entered the text and created the file, the audio can be played on the site, embedded in a blog post or web page, downloaded and played right on the computer, or loaded onto your iPod.
Of course, this could help students in your classroom in many ways. Struggling readers could listen to content and even load it on their iPods or mp3 players to take home. Read the Words also could be an easy way to create podcast audio files to share with others.

Read the Words has endless potential. I could see possibilities with poetry as poetry is an "auditory"/emotional sensation for an audience. It would help auditory learners to listen to rhythm, pacing, articulation, etc.
ReplyDeleteI could see how with Shakespeare or more archaic texts. The text read out loud would probably increase comprehension, students who are struggling readers, won't have to worry about decoding and fluency issues. They could enjoy the language instead of disliking language!Quite an engaging tool for auditory learners.
