Assistive reading
Assistive reading uses tools to make reading easier, such as audio or text‑to‑speech. It improves access without changing goals.
Definition
Tools can include audiobooks, overlays, or text‑to‑speech apps. These supports reduce fatigue and increase comprehension. Using tools is a valid strategy, not a shortcut. The goal is access and confidence.
Why it matters here
We recommend practical supports that remove unnecessary barriers.
