Read,+Write,+and+Type

** What is Read, Write, and Type? **
This software program was developed by Dr. Jeanine Herron as a way to engage students in reading, writing and spelling activities and therefore build reading skills.

**Elements of the software:**


 * Colorful animation
 * Digitized speech
 * Provides explicit instruction and practice in:
 * Phonemic awareness
 * Phonological awareness
 * Letter-sound correspondences
 * Phonemic decoding
 * Allows ELL students to select language for instructions
 * Provides systematic support
 * Multisensory
 * Teaches students keyboard skills



===While computer technology is becoming more and more a part of the classroom, it will not replace teacher lead instruction and should only be used as a means to supplement instruction and give students additional practice of learned skills. ===
