Introduction to WordQ for Teachers

What is WordQ?

WordQ is a software designed to offer support for students with learning differences, such as dyslexia, as well as any students encountering barriers to writing. Additionally, it complements reading and writing instruction for students learning English as a second language. We refer to this technology as intelligent assistance, or IA, rather than AI. The fundamental approach is to foster active participation from students in both reading and writing processes, rather than passive observation. It's important to note that WordQ does not write for students. Instead, it provides assistance to help students work independently and express their ideas effortlessly.

In the accompanying video, you'll see an example of a student's essay, demonstrating typical dyslexic writing tendencies, and how WordQ's word prediction and speech feedback features can aid the student in writing with fewer errors. This demonstration highlights the practical application of WordQ in supporting students' writing endeavors
