With Text-to-Speech enabled, directions can be read aloud in most Pathways and topics in practice and assessment activities, as well as prompts and passages for both Quick Writes and Guided Drafts. Currently, just over 55% of NoRedInk topics have this feature available, and we are working on adding more. Keep reading for step-by-step instructions for how to enable Text-to-Speech.
Instructions
Note: When a teacher chooses to enable this feature, it does not automatically make it available for all students. Each student must also enable the Text-to-Speech feature using the instructions below.
1. In your account, click on your name in the top right corner.
2. Click "Settings."
3. Under "Accessibility", select "Enable Text-to-Speech."
4. Click "Save Settings."
Ask each student who should have this feature enabled to go to their own "Settings" page and complete steps 1-4 above.
Once Text-to-Speech is enabled, you and your students will see a small "play" button next to the directions and the topic’s content.
