New read aloud updates
Posted in Primary
The MyMaths team are delighted to announce that all Year 1–6 homework tasks now support the read aloud feature.
In February we released a new text-to-speech feature on Key Stage 1 homework tasks. The aim was to improve the accessibility of our content by providing children with a simple way to have questions read out aloud to them.
We are happy to announce that all Year 1–6 homework tasks on the National Curriculum (England) view have now been updated to support read aloud.
Here’s a reminder of how to enable the feature. Pupils can press the menu button in the top right corner of their task. Then press the “Read aloud buttons” option in the side menu.
The read aloud feature can be enabled on a task by opening the side menu.
Pupils can then toggle the feature on or off and choose a character voice. The voices can be previewed by pressing the play buttons in the side menu. Pressing the “More settings” button allows pupils to adjust the speed of the voice, so they can have text read out at slower or quicker speeds.
The read aloud buttons can be toggled on or off. There are three character voices to choose from.
We’d love to hear what you and your pupils think of the feature and how we can continue improve the accessibility of MyMaths content – if you have any feedback for us, please let us know at mail@mymaths.co.uk.
