Help students flourish with new writing and reading supports available on the Activate Learning Digital Platform.

Do any of these challenges sound familiar?

• Students struggle with reading comprehension with their science text.
• Students have trouble getting started writing in their science notebooks.
• Students need the text translated into their native language, but you don't have access to the materials to support them.

At Activate Learning, we strive to support all learners.  So we are proud to announce enhanced writing and reading supports for students, built right into the Activate Learning Digital Platform.

No additional plug-ins necessary!

Reading Supports

• Automatic text-to-speech tool with highlighting.
• Dictionary tool with read-aloud definitions in English.

Language Translation

• Extensive language translation for over 130 languages.
• Text-to-speech will recognize foreign languages and read them with a native voice.
• Over 30 languages are supported with text-to-speech, including Arabic, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, French, and Portuguese.

Writing & Modeling Supports

• Sentence starters for documenting observations in their digital science notebook.
• Flexible drawing tools to create models to explain their understanding.
• Stamp images specific to the activity help students develop models.

Visual Supports

We've developed these tools on the Activate Learning Digital Platform to support student learning and help educators meet the needs of all students.
