ESL Support in ReadnQuiz

If English is not a student's native language, reading the book is hard enough. The quiz should not be the difficult part.

The purpose of the quiz is to find out whether the student read and understood the book. The quiz should not be an obstacle to that goal. It should be easy to read, easy to understand, and easy for the student to demonstrate comprehension of the book -- not the quiz.

ReadnQuiz offers ESL students native language translations of quiz questions. We like to call them subtitles. More than 60 languages are supported.

If the student is an early reader, even their own native language may be difficult to read. Add Read Aloud in the student's primary language to make it even more accessible.
