Twurdy Search - Search for Readable Results - 0 views

  •  
    Twurdy uses text analysis software to rate a website's reading level using a color coded system. This would help a student find age appropriate information when researching. Some of the topics that we research are volcanoes, planets, and the weather. I currently limit students to using certain websites that I link to my school website. With this search engine I could allow students to have more independence and find reliable information that is age-appropriate.

    This free download enables you to choose text from a word document, the Internet, or a pdf file and listen to the words being read. The upgraded version gives different voice options. I could have students use this when reading about a science topic on the computer because the vocabulary is difficult. This is helpful for students with tracking problems and dyslexia.
