Access curriculum content
Many students struggle to read worksheets, which impacts on their ability to access the curriculum, develop their understanding of a topic and complete related lesson tasks.

DocsPlus has an integrated 'DocReader' that will read aloud any PDF, providing equal access to worksheets, exam papers and more.

“We primarily use DocsPlus instead of human readers for exams. This gives students far greater independence and saved us 300 hours of staff time in the first year alone."
Fiona Johnson, SENCo
St Augustine’s Priory School
“This student has completed their end of year assessment using DocsPlus and got above and beyond what was expected as they could verbalise what they needed and could repeat any listening if they wanted to – this meant they fully understood the questions so were able to give more detailed answers.”
Victoria Locke, English Teacher and SENCo
Oasis Academy Oldham
“The benefits for our college have been reduced costs for external invigilators and a reduction in the number of smaller venues needed to accommodate students accessing readers. We are pleased with the benefits DocsPlus offers.”
