Activity
1. Open the notes app2. Try the word prediction tool3. Try the dictation tool4. Use the speech tool to get Siri to speak to you5. What are some pros and cons of these tools?

Text to Speech• Provides reading and writing support for
students• Can improve reading speed and
comprehension for some students• Supports editing and proof-reading
• In commonly-used software programs, apps, and operating systems
developing PARTNERSHIPS building CAPACITY supporting STUDENTS implementing TECHNOLOGY 27
Research Shows That…Text to Speech (TTS) helps some readers comprehend better
• Best for slower readers with good vocabulary and comprehension• May actually limit comprehension for fluent readers
If text doesn’t make sense to a student, hearing it read aloud won’t improve comprehension
Students’ reading efficiency may improve with use of TTS toolsTTS may improve student motivation for reading

The Volcano that Couldn’t Erupt
Once there was a volcano and it couldn’t erupt. The volcano got wet and it hardened the lava. That’s why the volcano couldn’t erupt. The volcano sunk. It sunk so deep into the earth that the lava started to get soft. The volcano started to get hot. It started to sweat. It started to erupt. The people came to it and said, “Wow, I didn’t think the volcano would ever erupt!” The volcano felt much better. The end.
