Reading Supports for (the Upcoming) Reading Week

February 12, 2026

For the programs with Reading Week right around the corner, we wanted to do a quick post on the different reading supports we’ve previously featured on the blog… and some new ones!

Read&Write

Read&Write (also known as R&W), is an application available (for free) to all staff and students at Red River College Polytechnic. Features in the application support learners with reading, writing, studying, and more!

Immersive Reader

Immersive Reader is a free set of tools developed by Microsoft built into the latest versions of Word, OneNote, Outlook, Teams, and Edge (among other applications). If you are one of the many, who finds reading or retaining information when reading difficult, Immersive Reader may be for you!

Other Reading Supports
