Your name and role

Charles Scherdt,  Intervention Specialist

Your school name: 
North Baltimore Local Schools 
 
Describe your school:

Did you trial the ExamReader / ReaderPen initially, if so, what “review process” did you follow and what conclusions did you draw?
I trialled the ExamReader pens and realized they were excellent tools. 


What do you most like about the ExamReader? 
The ExamReader allows students to access the curriculum independently. 

Please describe how you are using the ExamReader? 
I use the pens with special education students to help them read materials that previously they could not access. 

Please describe how the use of the ExamReader has affected your students (performance, confidence, independence etc)? 
All of the students who use the pen love it! They have gained confidence and independence in the classroom. It makes them feel better about themselves. 


Please describe any other areas in school you feel the ExamReader has helped (staff time savings, school results, cost savings etc) 
The ExamReader saves time for staff as they no longer have to read a selection to students or spend time creating materials at a lower reading level. 

How likely are you to recommend the ExamReader to others? 
Extremely!
