Who benefits from using alternate media?

• Some students benefit from hearing the text read aloud by using a computer program that reads with a synthesized voice.  Students either read along on the computer or with their textbooks.
• Some students read Braille.
• Some students need their materials in larger print.  Instructional material can be enlarged on a copy machine.  Students can also use a CCTV to magnify the text or a computer program like Zoomtext to enlarge the text on a computer monitor.
