Text to Speech Options in Learning Paths

If a learner has completed the diagnostic, they will see various text to speech features in the learning path. This cannot be controlled by administrators or teachers and is available to each student as they begin their learning paths.

Lower grade level students will experience modules that automatically read aloud to students with the option of selecting a speaker Icon to hear the sentence/answer choices aloud as many times as needed.


Older grade level students will experience Reader Tools in the upper right-hand corner to access the click to speak feature imbedded in their modules. Additionally, most of the lessons will have the click to speak option in the left-hand navigation of each tutorial with an optional slide narration for every student.
