Use in the Classroom
Microsoft Narrator is a great tool to be used in the classroom for students who have trouble reading. Not only can it read text to the blind but it can also read text to those struggling readers in your class. It is often used for students taking state test that have accommodations. I like to use it in my kindergarten class with my students because they are just becoming readers and it helps them read the words they can not. In the future I would like you use it as a tool for my more advance students to complete mini research projects on animals.
