Greetings from Admin
An update on specialized programming and resources
Dear Families ,
Happy New Year! We hope this message finds you well. We are excited to share with you an invaluable resource that can benefit your child's learning experience – the Read and Write app on their Chromebooks.
The Read and Write extension offers a range of features aimed at fostering access for students with reading and/or writing weaknesses. One of its key functionalities is the ability to have content read aloud. This feature not only supports students who may have different learning styles or preferences but also enhances comprehension by providing an auditory component to the learning process. It promotes better understanding of the material and can be especially helpful for those who struggle with traditional reading methods.
Additionally, the vocabulary tool within the app is a powerful asset for expanding your child's word knowledge. By highlighting and defining unfamiliar words, the app encourages active engagement with the text and promotes the development of a robust vocabulary. This not only aids in academic success but also equips your child with essential language skills that are crucial for effective communication and expression.
We cannot emphasize enough the importance of reading in a child's academic and personal development. The Read and Write app acts as a supportive tool, fostering a love for reading by making it more accessible and enjoyable. Whether your child is navigating through textbooks, articles, or creative writing assignments, this app offers a personalized and adaptable approach to reading that caters to individual needs.
We encourage you to explore the Read and Write app with your child and integrate it into their daily study routine. As always, your involvement and support play a crucial role in your child's educational journey, and we believe that this tool will contribute significantly to their success.

If you have any questions or need assistance in getting started with the Read and Write app, please don't hesitate to reach out. We are here to support your child's learning and ensure a positive and enriching educational experience.
Thank you for your continued partnership in your child's education.
