Using Assistive Technology for EQAO: example at Ogden P.S.

Students in Ms. Kirton’s class at Ogden Public School have been participating in our EQAO and Assistive Technology Project this year. At the beginning of the year, the students were planning on using Read and Write Gold to support them when writing EQAO; however, once the students learned some of the software features, they quickly embraced Read and Write Gold and they started using it for all of their reading and writing activities! 

Student use Read and Write Gold’s speak current to have text read aloud.

Students use word prediction when responding to short answer and creative writing tasks.

Students use the study skills highlighters in a purposeful way.
