Hi dyorba-ruiz!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the addition of a read-aloud feature to Khan Academy. We are always working to add features that improve our site, and we love getting input from our community.

I've passed your feedback along to the team and it will be part of our conversation as we plan the future of Khan Academy.

Thanks for helping improve Khan Academy!

Yes, I agree. I work with secondary students with various learning disabilities, and even in the early basic math course, many problems depend on being able to read. We are on iPads and have limited access to third-party accessibility applications. Having a read-aloud feature on every page would make this program much easier for my students to access and learn from. 

I agree with this. I homeschool my kids, and help with our neighbors across the street, and we utilize khan academy for math. Many of the kids don't know how to read very well yet, either due to just learning from their age, or due to learning disabilities, and delays in reading. I am working with them on reading, but want to be able to do math with them as well. As I review some of their work in khan academy I am finding many easy problems being missed that I feel like got misunderstood because it isn't reading the number with the rest of it. I feel like if perhaps I had sat with them and read the question instead they would have done better. But the problem is it is very difficult time wise to be able to do that with having to teach 7 kids at varying levels of learning. 

Plus another thing I have noticed. The neighbor kids I am helping have kindle fire devices, and I don't notice a 3rd party option for reading the screen, so I can't have them use that at all really. So I seem to be stuck utilizing my devices, which I only have 3 of, and 1 I use for teaching spelling, so that brings me down to 2. Hopefully Khan Academy can consider this.
