In development
Read Aloud
Click any text, hear it aloud.
Comment enseignez-vous ?
Students who struggle to read, or are learning in a second language, wait for someone to read the text to them. Read Aloud, in development, lets a student click a block of text and hear it, as often as they need.
Your student waits for you to read every instruction aloud, and the lesson slows down. They’ll click the text and hear it themselves, as many times as they need.
In a class of 20, you can’t read every passage aloud to the students who need it. They’ll click the text and listen on their own.
Participants working in a second language reread dense text to keep up. They’ll click any block of text and hear it read aloud.
Students who can’t yet read the instructions wait for you to come over. On their devices, they’ll click the text and hear it, and keep going on their own.
Participants who read in a second language fall behind on written exercises. They’ll hear any block of text read aloud on their laptops.
If your child is still learning to read, they won’t need you to read every word. They’ll click the text and hear it.

The problem
Students wait for someone to read to them
Early readers, students with reading difficulties and second-language learners often can’t read instructions or passages alone. They wait, guess or fall behind.
La méthode habituelle
Teachers read text aloud one student at a time, record audio separately or rely on screen readers outside the lesson.
How Pencil Spaces solves it
Read aloud, in development: a student clicks a block of text and presses play to hear it, from the AI menu on the text toolbar.
Quels sont les changements ?
Students keep up on their own, without waiting for help.
What it looks like
Dans la pratique
A student clicks a block of instructions on the board and presses play. She hears it twice, then starts the task without asking for help.
In a 1:1 lesson
Your student clicks the word problem and listens to it. He understands what’s being asked before you say a word.
In a group class
Students who are learning English click the passage and listen to it while the class reads silently.
In a virtual training
A participant reading in his second language clicks the scenario and hears it read aloud before answering.
In your classroom
A first grader clicks the instructions on her Chromebook and hears them. She starts the activity on her own.
In the training room
Participants click the case study text on their laptops to hear it while the room reads.
At home
Your daughter clicks the story on her board and listens, following along with her finger.
