My Project

These text-to-speech pens will help support my students in being independent readers and learners. I work with children who have diverse learning needs. The C-Pen 2 will ensure equal access to educational content. Students will be able to read class material without having to ask an adult for help.

The C-Pen 2 provides the ability to look up words that they don't know which will help with comprehension and vocabulary building.

The C Pen 2 is portable and user-friendly. My students want to be independent in their daily school life. These C-Pen 2 devices will help them do that!
