I agree that questions should have audio, for maybe certain grades ranges.

Hi Angela, please vote up the request for this feature : )

Many users suggest it, but when they don't vote up existing requests (and often use different key words to explain the issue) it can be difficult to gauge how popular it is.

THis is also a problem for special education students.

I agree! I was excited and now I know that we won't be able to use it. 

I just wanted to mention that for now it may be possible to teach the child to use a screen reader, at least for some of the material. Cut and paste text to a free text to speech reader work for some students while others prefer automatic readers which can be controlled by user input. 

Screen readers often take their clues from the computer's initial language setting, so for me the at least some of the readers that automatically try to read the text do not work. No matter if I set my language preferences to English, some part of the free NVDA screen reader, for instance, "knows" that my PC is Norwegian, and insist on pronouncing the text as if it were Norwegian. That would not be a problem for anyone on a US version, though.

I agree. I was going to use the Kinder program for tutoring but because the questions cannot be read to students I will have to go with a different program. Very disappointing

I would like to bump up this comment. We really need this especially now during remote learning due to the pandemic.
