There is no feature that reads to younger students!

Wie können wir helfen?

After getting so excited about the content and format of this website, my teaching partner and I signed all of our 2nd and 3rd graders up for math and literacy practice (mostly math). As our student finally began to start working on assignments we realized there was no feature that reads the math questions to students. For many of our students that are not proficient readers yet, this seems to be pretty unusable for them. I guess we will not be able to use this for our classroom until this feature is available. What a bummer :(

Thanks for sharing your thoutghs! This feedback has been passed along to the team :)

As part of our Support Community improvement project, we’re preserving inactive posts that have historical or community value and closing them to new comments. This is one of them!

If this post covers a topic that you’re interested in discussing with the community or requests a feature you’d like to see on Khan Academy, you can try to find an active post about it and add your thoughts (or feel free or create a new post if it doesn’t yet exist in the forum).

Hi Megan,

We may add this feature in the future, but in the meantime, some teachers find it helpful to use screen readers like Chrome Vox: http://www.chromevox.com/. Feel free to share this tool with any teachers who might benefit from it, I hope this helps!

I was also going to suggest a read aloud button or something because 3 of my children are not able to read most of the questions but they are very well capable of solving the math problems if I read them the question. My solution is to go into the accessibility settings of your computer and turn the Narrator on. It's kinda annoying because it reads everything your mouse comes across. You can change some settings to tone down the obnoxiousness.

If you are unsure where to find Narrator settings on your computer just type in Narrator settings in the search bar of your startup menu.

I hope this helps parents and teachers with younger students.
