How can Read, Write & Type help students learning English as a second language?
Read, Write & Type is uniquely adapted to meet the needs of students who are learning English as a second language. The program provides a fun, non-judgmental learning environment while students...
- practice English phonics
- increase vocabulary by naming over 200 pictures
- learn correct syntax and grammar as they hear and read stories and construct their own
- sound out and spell new words
The ESL language "toggle" in Read, Write & Type (access to another language) is an option available to the student at sign-in and allows for a spoken clarification of any of the program's instructions in a student's native language by simply clicking the "Yellow Balloon" on the screen.

I am using RWT in my second grade bilingual classroom. All but four or five of my 17 students have finished RWT at least once. Your program exceeds all my expectations!!! They love it so much that they want to go through it again and again. The Spanish toggle is highly appreciated by the students who need it. They love the E-Mail Tower. One boy straight from Mexico, who knows (knew) no English, finished the program. I can't figure that out - How did he do it? This is ESL at its best. Thanks for making my job infinitely easier.
