Abstract
This chapter discusses the outcomes of Iowa Text Reader Project’s 2006-2007 study that evaluated the impact of Kurzweil 3000 during the second year of implementation. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the text-to-speech (TTS) software as an accommodation to improve student access to core content with fluency and comprehension. Using the Time Series Concurrent and Differential Approach (Smith, 2000), this study examines students’ performance on comprehension passages read with and without the TTS software. A balance of perceptual and objective data measures provides data on other student outcomes. Twenty middle school special education students and nine teachers participated in the 27-week study.
