Getting Started with WYNN--using highlighting tools

Now that WYNN Reader and Wizard are available on most of the computers in our district (all the new ones updated with WIN 7 have both), I have been able to try it out with students who struggle with reading and writing and have seen some amazing results! Here are a couple of examples of how you can use WYNN for struggling students:
1. For secondary students: When doing research on the web, have the student open WYNN Reader. The student can copy and paste information from the website into WYNN and use the reading, dictionary, and highlighting tools to decipher and extract relevant information needed for the research topic.
2. For elementary students: If the student is using a book downloaded from Bookshare, make use of the highlighting tools to highlight information that the student needs for a book report. For example, use one color to highlight information about the setting and another color to highlight information about the characters. By choosing "list view" the highlighted words can be extracted and printed off so that the student can use these words to refer to when writing the report. Or if the student uses Clicker 5 for writing, you (or the student) can put these words into the word banks so that the student can complete the book report with minimal help.
