ReadPlease

This is a free programme for PC only.  It reads back what has been written.  Within my writing programme I have used it with New Entrant and Year 3 but I have shared this with secondary teachers and ESOL teachers too.
Writing Programme:
Drafting

The children draft their stories onto the programme.  They listen to what they have written.
Publish
Their work cannot be saved into the programme.  The free version of this programme has limited capabilities but is enough for classroom use. 
Control A to highlight - Control C to copy.
Open a word document.  The Big W
Control V to paste.
Spelling mistakes will have a red line under them.  Right click on them and a list of correct words will appear.  The children pick the one they want to use.
Grammar - green line:  Right click and the grammar correction will appear.
This links reading and writing!
