<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES">Hello Parents,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wanted to let you know that I have been looking into the issue of iReady and ST Math not being accessible. I have heard back from iReady and they will be accessible with screen readers in August of this year. They are trying to be WCAG
compliant by then so that would mean features for low vision students as well. There will no need to purchase anything additional, it will be available to all. I am attaching a document they sent me with their plans. I hope this change makes a big difference
in your children being able to participate with their sighted peers in the same activities in school. Please reach out to me if you have any questions. <o:p></o:p></p>
