Students use text-to-speech software (Web 2.0 Avatars) to listen to their writing aloud. We use this 21st century method for proofreading when students do not read over their writing or are unaware of mistakes in their story. Students use this self-discovery strategy of revision and editing in order to privately critique their own work before conferring with the teacher.

  • Way to go, Chase and Lynda! I really like your neutral questions to the students--the questioning brings out that the kids KNOW how to correct their writing: "It didn't make sense" "it [paragraph] needs more periods...[cuz] it's one big blob"! It took several listens to figure out what kids were saying, tho'. Now I have a teaching idea for using Vokis. Thanks!

  • That is so smart!
