Welcome to another month with The T&L Tea!

Welcome back to another month with The T&L Tea! This month, we’re going to talk about a tool called Read & Write.

Read & Write is a literacy support tool that offers help with everyday tasks like reading text aloud, understanding unfamiliar words, researching assignments and proofing written work. This resource is available and free to use for all Central Piedmont faculty, staff, and students. The toolbar can be downloaded and used on a variety of platforms from Chrome, Windows and Mac to Android and iPad. Read & Write can help students further develop their literacy skills, become better at note taking, and can even make studying more efficient. Whether a student is highly proficient in their literacy and wants to expand their knowledge or is in need of supplemental assistance, Read & Write can help. Read & Write also has a revision function to assist with revising text for improved phrasing and readability, making it a great tool for anyone!
