Devices to help read aloud to students when on the computer After opening internet explorer, your students can all make use of the T-POINTER device. You can change the t-pointer delay to 2-3 seconds depending on the student. By using the t-pointer device, your struggling readers will be able to select appropriate web pages because it will read portions of the page to them. If they want to read more than just a title, they can highlight a portion and click READER. This will read all of it to them. Premier is not currently compatible with apple products. If your students are looking for a similar program to help them with reading and writing at home, they can download a program called WORD Q. It works in a similar fashion to premier. Notes on PREMIER:
For voices- VW Paul is a good one, it is a new voice that has been upgraded. Always use the V10 version of premier. Click on TWP (Talking word processor) Choose text and copy and paste it into the TWP If you highlight it will only read the section that is highlighted. Prediction- turns green when on. Computer will guess what you are saying. Click once and it will read it to you, click twice and it will put the word into the sentence. If you want the program to predict more, do into prediction and hit options you can have it change for number of words it predicts- you can have more to choose from. You can also make the words bigger. From the top menu bar. Word Repeat - For younger students Sentence Repeat-For older students, ELL's to read the sentence again. Helpful to them.
PREMIER for help with Summarizing & Determining the Main Idea Click Read--> Options--> Tracking and highlighting. Main Idea/ Summarizing tool--> Highlight and extract , then click summarize. Students can use this as a tool although the summarizing feature is of course, never as good as the students doing it themselves. Extract colours- you can teach to extract based on the colours-i.e. make blue unknown words. This is awesome for when students have large amounts of information and need to classify it in some way. You can extract the colours separately and then use that to take different pieces of information.
OTHER GREAT INFORMATION ALL CASI grades have been put into Premier format- you can access it by clicking: Board services-special education support- EQAO- premier Old EQAO tests in Premier format are available by clicking: Teaching and Learning--> TLCP--> Share it!
