Read&Write GOLD is Texthelp’s award-winning literacy support software designed to help students with literacy difficulties, such as dyslexia, and those with English as a second language.

Read&Write GOLD works discreetly alongside all mainstream Windows applications, assisting pupils with their reading, writing and research needs. At the core of Read&Write GOLD is its text-to-speech functionality which improves learning comprehension levels and access to the curriculum. The software encourages students’ independent and inclusive learning, and enables independent access to Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs).

• Identifies and corrects like-sounding words (homophones), increasing accuracy
