Hi Debra, I'm terribly sorry your students are experiencing an issue with their reading experience. We have a couple of options to try and resolve this issue. First, please follow the instructions on this Help Center article. If that doesn't work then please feel free to reply back so I can contact you directly with a different set of instructions that should work.

My students are on bookshare on chrome books. We can not change language. It's on Duetch, and they cannot understand it. I went into settings, but there is no option for them to change it. Thanks Debbi

Hi Patricia, Read2Go has been out of development for some time now, which means it is no longer receiving updates. Although it still works okay for some members who wish to keep using it, it is possible with every update to iOS, will bring more potential glitches to the app. If you find this happening more often than not, we recommend switching to another app such as Voice Dream Reader or Dolphin's EasyReader (recommended). These are third-party apps, which integrate with Bookshare, and are regularly updated.

As this could be related to a few things I would recommend contacting our technical support team so we can better assist you. If you are using a mobile device like a smartphone or tablet this could be the cause for the issue. We recommend using an app that works with Bookshare on mobile device for the best reading experience.

First, I would recommend clearing the cache on the browser of the Chromebook the teacher was using. Once that is done if they run into any issues please have them contact our technical support team so we can better assist them.

anyone having this issue? A teacher reported they are struggling with a readable voice on the chromebook. They installed the extension for the American woman voice, hit the restart but it is not playing, Instead an unreadable voice comes up.

I assume that we have to get parental permission to share a student's name and information regarding their disability? Does BookShare have a form for this?
-
I've done this. How long does it take for it to be recognized? I keep getting emails saying I have not submitted and I have.
-
I cannot get into Bookshare. My email is not recognized. Any thoughts?
-
I think it would be helpful for teachers to be able to download and read books so they can see and experience it from the student perspective. This process would allow teachers to model and support students in the learning process in a more effective and efficient way.

I am new to bookshare. I have some books on my booklist but when I press "read now" I get a blank screen that doesn't change. What should I do?
-
You can have a student on bookshare who is on a 504 or who only needs large print. If the student qualifies, you can put them on.
-
Thank you both for your help.

I have a student that has an IEP and qualifies for a Bookshare account but does not have audio books listed on his IEP. Am I able to create a Bookshare account or do I have to have his IEP amended?

My student has the Read 2 Go app. We were trying to figure out if she can highlight text individually, but we weren't able to figure it out. Does the app have this feature? Where students can highlight individual text? We tried dragging with our fingers but it didn't work. Thank you!!

I would like to know more about Read2Go? What is it? I use a digital book player currently for my student to listen as she reads in her braille book. We are working to increase her reading fluency, so we need to find something that is more user friendly. I'd like to find out more about anything that could help with fluency.

Kathy O'Neal replied to Kathy O'Neal's topic in General Discussion
My student enjoys reading magazines, but I can't find these on Bookshare. Are they available? -
Does Bookshare provide access to Time for Kids magazines?
