Workshop Description

In this session, Troy Waller from Microsoft helps you personalise learning and motivate your students to achieve their fullest potential with Immersive Reader.

The Microsoft Immersive Reader is a free tool, built into Word, OneNote, Outlook, Office Lens, Microsoft Teams, Forms, Flipgrid, Minecraft Education Edition and the Edge browser, that implement proven techniques to improve reading and writing for people, regardless of their age or ability. Immersive Reader can help improve reading comprehension by:

• increasing fluency for English language learners or readers of other languages;
• helping to build confidence for emerging readers learning to read at higher levels;
• offering text decoding solutions for students with learning differences such as dyslexia;
• providing translation of words, or the entire text, into over 60 languages (over 40 of them can be read aloud).
