TOday I set up a student to use TextHelp! and Modumath together.

It's just the first day but so far! ... I *do* lke the results. The student can click and drag the mouse over a part of teh screen (as you would something on a picture to make a marquee of it) and TextHelp Read ;& Write Gold will do OCR on it. Right there in front of you! And since Modumath's text stuff is separate from its nifty videos for math instruction, that's a fairly obvious, intuitive process.
We just might get this guy comprehending the word part of math if we're not careful... the ones and thousands and millions and billions. Thing is, if you can't read, you've faked it through those sections for the past XXX years on those rare occasions when some stupid math class makes you Read Large Numbers. Otherwise, how often *do* you have to Read a Large Number? So, while one could assume that "gosh, if he can't do that by now, he probably can't handle the abstractions of algebra," here's my bet that with the text more accessible this is gonna happen.... this week :) We'll see!
