Introduction
Welcome to the Read&Write Administrator Implementation Guide. The guide does not need to be completed in a single session; you are welcome to pause and return at any time to fit your schedule and learning needs. Administrators who actively engage with the practice opportunities, interactive activities, and reflection prompts will gain the greatest benefit from the experience.
What is Read&Write?
It's a toolbar every educator should have in their toolkit.
Read&Write is a literacy support tool that offers help with everyday tasks like reading text out loud, understanding unfamiliar words, researching assignments and proofing written work, while empowering students to learn independently.
The toolbar features are designed to be accessible and adaptable to different learning styles and needs, including those with learning differences or English as a second language. Read&Write aims to foster greater independence and confidence in any setting.
