Considering that I am going to be an English teacher I researched some Assistive Learning techniques that would help out struggling readers and/or writers.
I found a cool tool called the Paper-Based Computer Pen. This pen can be used by students to take notes while simultaneously recording the teacher speaking. So if the student is slower at note-taking and cannot keep up with writing what the teacher is saying, that student can go back to his/her notes, touch the pen to that section and listen to the recording. Very cool! This would make is much easier for students to study. Many students struggle with being able to write notes during class, or remembering all the key points made during class and this device would help the student greatly to remember information.
Another tool that I found is Audio Books and Publications. These devices will read aloud books to the student. They are able to book mark pages and chapters. This would be a good tool for students who cannot read. It would help the student learn the book that we are reading while not actually being required to read the book. I think this device would work out very well to help the student with the reading disability feel like part of the class.
