Udio
Give kids the motivation, confidence, and resourcefulness needed to turn them into expert readers.
Standard reading supports focus on things like phonics and building vocabulary with simple sentences. The problem is that struggling readers aren’t the same as beginning readers.
Udio is a networked reading environment where reading material is current, high interest, and universally designed to ensure that all students are supported to become intrinsically motivated to engage in substantial reading practice. Every article is presented with supports that students can use if they need them, including text to speech that will read the article out loud (the kids wear headphones) while highlighting each word, and audible, one-click word translations for English-language learners.
Behind the scenes, Udio tracks every move the kids make, so it can suggest new articles to students and show teachers what students are reading, how much time they spend on each article, and what supports they use.
