[quote=Anonymous]My 4th grader's class is using something called "Snap and Read." From what I can tell, all it does is let you highlight text on websites, and then the program reads that selected text out loud. Can someone explain the point of this? Instead of letting the student read for themselves and focus on what they're reading, the student is supposed to diddle around with the cursor, highlight text, and then sit back while the program reads it? What am I missing here? For young kids who aren't strong readers, maybe this would be helpful, but it seems to me you'd have to know what the text says in order to know whether you want to bother to have it read out loud to you.
