“Reading Assistant took how important it is [to read aloud] and turned it into a computer program… all done through speech recognition software. They don’t need an adult to be with them. It’s building verbal fluency and reading fluency – the advantage is that it is non-judgmental; they can make mistakes and not be embarrassed about it. So they can read quickly, easily and effortlessly.”
