Text-to-speech features for younger, Special Education, and English Language Learners would be beneficial
Hello,
It has come up a couple of times about text to speech in the Khan Academy Ambassador group for students who cannot read well or read yet.
In going with the free education for everyone theme, I think it would be beneficial if KA offered this feature as an option for students who cannot yet read well, those too old of Khan Academy Kids and too young to read fluently. This is much of the case for those who are in the K-3 grades, where KA has yet to be a serious offering for some of our lower elementary grade teachers and students.
This would also be good for students who are in special education and have IEPs where they need text to be read to them.
It would also be beneficial for our English language learners who are still learning English as some terms are unfamiliar to them or they cannot read well enough yet to access the math curriculum.
Thank you for all you do to help us help our students.
Best,
John Lira
Khan Academy Ambassador
