Our Science program has the following accommodation embedded into the program:
Text-to-Speech (TTS)
This accommodation is currently available for our Science STAAR-tested and Biology courses in the STAAR Review section on the STAAR Practice Test or in the Vocabulary Boosters activities.
When a student navigates to the STAAR practice test in the STAAR Review section or a Vocabulary Booster activity, they will see a play button next to the directions, questions, and/or answer choices. We recommend students wear headphones if they are testing in a group setting to listen to the audio. Students should be directed to click the play button next to the text they would like to have read aloud.
