When a student self-selects a text that sparks curiosity, joy, or invites them into a story-filled world, they actively engage in complex processes found in standards-aligned frameworks for reading. Choosing what to read also boosts confidence and increases the likelihood that students will continue to read.

This daylong event encourages more students to read for pleasure by exploring stories and articles that generate excitement and spark their interest. Educators will expose students to different genres, use different mediums like books and digital texts, and even host costume-themed events celebrating famous literary characters like the Cat in the Hat\u2013all with the purpose of instilling excitement around reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From tools that support reading comprehension to unique Flip events, Microsoft offers a range of opportunities to excite students and keep them reading all year long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"use-immersive-reader-to-do-more-with-digital-text\">Use Immersive Reader to do more with digital text<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZrO-l1IKjbw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch the YouTube video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Online resources like encyclopedias, news outlets, and even video-sharing websites often contain complex paragraphs, unknown vocabulary, and irrelevant information like ads. This presents problems for struggling readers and pre-readers. Not only do they need to understand what they are reading but they also must decide what parts deserve their focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Read Across America Day, introduce students to <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/content.cloudguides.com\/guides\/Help students read more effectively\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Click to learn more about Immersive Reader\">Immersive Reader<\/a> in the Edge browser so that they can easily understand digital text on any topic they might choose. Designed with input from reading experts, Immersive Reader includes options that let students choose the specific kinds of support they need. This includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Automatically reading and highlighting words on a page<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Controlling the reading pace<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Removing distractions on a webpage to focus attention on the text<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjusting size, font, and color of text so that words are easier to see<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Translating text into over 60 languages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/education\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Immersive-Reader.gif\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Opening Immersive Reader in Edge and reading aloud content on a web page<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Immersive Reader, students can understand almost any text on their own. It automatically transforms the content into a simplified display with options for reading aloud all the words. Immersive Reader also offers a built-in picture dictionary, grammar tools, and syllable demarcation for students who want differing levels of independent reading support. Students control their reading experience with Immersive Reader which increases self-agency and boosts confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amber Raftery, a sixth-grade teacher in <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/customers.microsoft.com\/story\/1587916949510270435-kent-k12-edu-microsoft-365-en-united-states\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Click to read more about the Kent School District\">Kent School District (WA)<\/a>, is a staunch advocate for Immersive Reader because it makes learning more accessible and equitable for her students. Amber says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I think when we&#8217;ve got kids that need different support mechanisms to learn, the Microsoft assisted learning tools become really, really vital. Last year, I had a student that had dysgraphia and dyslexia and so being able to listen to the audio was necessary and the Immersive Reader was essential for the success of this student.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Immersive Reader is not just for students with reading difficulties. Pre-readers also benefit from its text-to-speech capabilities. According to Amanda Young, Program Manager at Wichita Public Schools:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>When our teachers discover things like Immersive Reader and learn how it helps, they realize it helps not just students with reading troubles. It\u2019s excellent for all the students. Our littlest learners need those accessibility tools, too, not because they have a learning difference, but because they don\u2019t know how to read or write yet. Their teachers see Immersive Reader and they tell us, \u2018This is amazing. I can\u2019t read the story to each individual kid, but this can help.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Immersive Reader helps students read text in popular Microsoft 365 applications like Word, OneNote, and Teams as well as favorites like Minecraft Education and Flip. Teachers like Amber Gonzalez at Sawyer Elementary School in the Kent School District believe that Immersive Reader\u2019s availability across so many programs is a critical contributor to reading growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>It&#8217;s easy for students to have an Immersive Reader button built in and available in every program or on every website\u2014that is huge for my students and for me teaching students with different abilities.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"reading-coach-in-immersive-reader\">Reading Coach in Immersive Reader<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/education\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Reading-Coach-in-Immersive-Reader.gif\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Immersive Reader display introducing Reading Coach and showing how to turn on the feature, record a read aloud, access reading reports, and practice mispronounced words<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students also have new ways to use Immersive Reader with the integration of Reading Coach into the tool. <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/techcommunity.microsoft.com\/t5\/education-blog\/reading-coach-in-immersive-reader-plus-new-features-coming-to\/ba-p\/3734079\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Click to learn more about Reading Coach\">Reading Coach<\/a> in Immersive Reader allows students to independently practice their fluency and vocabulary development with advanced speech-to-text capabilities.

It assesses what\u2019s being read and delivers details on accuracy, words per minute, mispronunciations, and time spent reading. Best of all, Reading Coach in Immersive Reader allows students to take ownership over reading instruction because it does not require an educator to follow along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look for Reading Coach in Immersive Reader within Word, OneNote, Teams Assignments, Flip, and Minecraft Education with more applications to come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"learn-from-the-princess-in-black-creators-on-flip\">Learn from the Princess in Black creators on Flip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/education\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Flip_event_PiB_web.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Princess in Black Flip event flyer featuring headshots of authors Shannon and Dean Hale and illustrator LeUyen Pham <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;re invited to a royal ball with the authors and illustrator of the wildly popular Princess in Black series on March 2nd!
