Using decodable text in the earlier stages of literacy instruction ensures that a student has the skills to read without guessing. They are especially important for students with dyslexia (or any struggling reader) because they provide reading practice using the knowledge of letter-sounds that are taught explicitly in a scaffolded approach. Reading decodable text helps students build fluency and gain confidence as they become proficient with word-level reading. Eventually, when most of the code has been explicitly taught, students will be able to read regular, more authentic texts. Decodable books are only needed until the student has mastered the code; after that, they can read anything!

When I used this strategy, my struggling readers really enjoyed following along with the tape. I was surprised at first, because these were the kids that tended to goof off at any opportunity! They really enjoyed being sort of in-control of the situation, and able to work at their own pace. Our reading text had an audio recording of each story (CD format), so it was really easy to get going quickly with this strategy. All of my students were familiar with how to work a CD player, so they could easily adjust the controls, or get back to the right recording if they hit a wrong button. (I would put the CD on repeat for that particular track)We started in small groups to get them used to the routine. After a few sessions, they were working with this strategy at a station in the back of the room. I worked with each reader for at least one page of the text to make sure they were still on track. Really, they loved doing this and it really worked well for them. As is the key when introducing anything new, make sure you manage the students well at first, and they are aware of the rules and consequences.
Leveled books can be used with the whole class, and in small-group or independent instruction. This approach recognizes that a wide range of reading needs exist within any grade level or age group. Students are able to work with texts that are appropriate for their specific needs.
Some leveled books are also supported by fluency practice passages, reader's theater scripts, a writer's response activity, a literature circle journal, or might be part of a paired book set or other collection.
Wordless books allow students to use imagination to tell their own story with a book's illustrations or support retelling of the original text at Levels aa-J. The Wordless Book Lesson provides suggested skills and strategies.

Users can use text-to-speech technology to create voiceover by typing a written script and having an AI voice read aloud the script, just as a human would. Once the script is finished, and a speaker voice and reading speed are selected you are ready to download your script into an MP3 Audio file which can be used universally in videos and other formats. However, not all text-to-speech applications allow for the redistribution of generated audio files. If users plan to redistribute their audio files, they must ensure the text-to-speech application used is built for commercial, business or public use. Examples of Commercial Use:

Reviewed by: Exercices de vocabulaire A1 et A2 par Anne Akyüz Olivia Amzallag Akyüz , Anne, Bernadette Bazelle-Shahmaei, Joëlle Bonenfant, et Marie-FranÇoise Orne-Gliemann. Exercices de vocabulaire A1 et A2. Hachette, 2019. ISBN 978-2-01-401642-0. Pp. 159. The A1 level of Exercices de vocabulaire assumes no prior knowledge of the French language. The text then moves into the A2 level, as a continuation of the basic language program. Exercices de vocabulaire presents vocabulary divided into thematic topics such as travel, banking, clothing, and leisure activities. Each topic is supported with retention and practice exercises, for both listening and writing. This program provides transcriptions of the audio files and corrections for each exercise, followed by an assessment pertaining to the material learned. Materials are recycled throughout the program. For example, vocabulary associated with the topic of family is presented early in the A1 section and revisited at the beginning of the A2 exercises, with some additional adjectives. This allows students to make connections from one part of the course to another and helps maintain retention of the original set of vocabulary, while expanding their L2 French lexicon. A variety of practice exercises are used, including but not limited to crossword puzzles, matching activities, word scrambles and fill-in-the-blanks. These activities are designed to provide varied engagement with the material for each chapter. Vocabulary is not typically presented contextually, but rather in a list format. This text does not feature authentic reading materials, nor does it use reading passages as tools for vocabulary building. Students could create their own writing passages using the vocabulary list as a writing activity and share with partners or groups as a reading comprehension and discussion follow-up. The authors focus on the writing and retention practice activities, while tailoring tasks to the topic and to students' needs. The prescribed exercises are well illustrated with graphics and pictures, which are designed for practicing individual words and related sentences. This exercise book relies heavily on basic present-tense verbs to frame the vocabulary introduced in the A1 level. However, passé composé and future proche tenses are included in the A2 to frame the vocabulary lists. This text could accompany a more grammar-focused book or course to enrich students' vocabulary building or to provide support exercises for units from another program. [End Page 272]
I'm currently learning classical Chinese, and was wondering if somewhere online there were spoken versions of works like the Analects (obviously in Chinese.) A version where it is easy to find the audio for specific passages would be fantastic.
Video/audio recordings of class sessions (face-to-face or online) may be recorded for the benefit of students in the class. Recordings will be shared via platforms with access limited to other members of the class. I will attain consent from students if recordings of student comments or images will be shared with a broader audience. 2ff7e9595c
