Zoë Watt, Inclusion Outreach SLP, found a new resource by the folks at Tar Heel Reader. They have created a synthesized speech core vocabulary to run along the bottom of the pages of the books so reading can be a shared, have a more active role for the student and support making meaning in literacy. They have ProD modules attached to this development which look great and it is all research-based.
