A+ has sound files that read the question and answer test to the student only in Basic Math, Reading, Language Usage, and Building Vocabulary lessons up to the 3rd-grade level. Although there will be a “speaker” icon on the student’s lesson toolbar for any lesson in A+, only the lessons previously mentioned will actually read the text to the student. In order to have the text read to students in other lessons, you must rely on 3rd party text-to-speech software. There are many available for download and purchase from the internet, and some even have a free trial version.
