Chapter 2, “Sails of the 7 Cs,” discusses the importance of communication within the community. Communication is an important factor of success, and unfortunately, many of us struggle with reading and comprehension skills or have visual difficulties; therefore, it makes communication difficult. Microsoft has created Platforms to eliminate problems people might come across in many situations. One of which is called immersive reader, a free tool for everyone that is easily accessed by those with some form of technology. The immersive reader has built-in features that can help students, workers, and more understand the context and material given to them. Some of the features Immersive Reader consist of are:

I really enjoyed reading your blog about the different types of communication tools there are. I never new how many tools the immersive reader has! This seems extreamy helpful for not even student, but everyone! Keep up the great work!
Hello,
This is really great material! I especially like the Syllabification function on immersive reader. Sometimes even I get stuck on some words and this tool helps me out a lot! Do you think there could be other tools that Immersive Reader could add in addition to the useful tools they already have?
I totally agree that with all the tools out there, anyone can get the help they need in the way that best suits their needs. As a future educator, how would you use the immersive reader in your classroom? For me, I would use it when teaching spelling & syllables of words by using the text-spacing feature.
Great blog by the way and thank you for providing a link to learn more!
Hey,
I think this is such a beneficial tool to use in school! I also think that it will be very helpful for students who struggle with reading and reading comprehension. In addition, I think it will also be beneficial for those who are learning or struggle with speaking English. Many students are visual learners and I think this tool will help those who struggle in these areas and help them visualize their material. Very informative post!
