Lesson #1 Connection ECC Areas Addressed Last week we learned to use Bookshare and the Read2Go the application for the iPad that goes along with Bookshare. The student will learn how to use the Read2Go application to follow along with classmates in large print, audio, and highlighting to Chapter 1 of Charlotte's Web. TVI models using the Read2Go application by locating Charlotte's Web in the Bookshelf of Read2Go, opening the book, changing the settings to size 14 font, 110% speed, and red highlighting. Student is given the opportunity to open the Charlotte's Web book using the Read2Go application, click the settings, and change to desired settings. The student will click the play button to follow along with his/ her classmates and read chapter 1 of Charlotte's Web. TVI observes the lesson watching to ensure that the student has speed settings correct and is visually tracking the words read by other students.
