• Visual display can be varied - larger, highlighted, font and color changed, etc.
• Auditory display - good for pre-reading
• Allows embedding learning supports in content
• Pre-reading background, definitions
• Summary
• Key Questions
• Allows students to copy/paste, or otherwise manipulate the text, to indicate comprehension

Is there one or more of your students who would benefit if:

• the text was larger or easier to see?
• they could hear text read aloud?
• they could highlight or cut and paste the important points, or mark words that were unclear?
• there was a summary of the article that could be read before reading the whole piece?

These adjustments can be easily done with electronic text and will help you differentiate instruction for a wide range of students.
