Add a reading feature for younger students on problems. I have 3 kids that use Khan Academy for some math work. the oldest is 8 and the youngest is 5. They do a great job with the math but struggle some with the reading. We are working on that, but it would be nice to have a button that could push to have the story problem read. maybe it could be fewer points to encourage them to read on their own. Thank you for all you do.

Hi there,
You might be able to add an extension to your browser to accomplish this. Here's one such extension for google chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/snapread-universal/mloajfnmjckfjbeeofcdaecbelnblden
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.
Aaron
