You are assigned to a special needs class and are befuddled as to how to help them improve their abilities. They evidently can’t access the standardised curriculum, so it is on you to create scaffolding bridges that will help them catch this learning bullet train. 🚅 You feel overwhelmed, but thankfully, you don’t have to be because there are many tools in which you can avail yourself of.

The first tool is not an AI-empowered tool but should serve your purpose adequately. BookCreator empowers you and your students to write your own books. Maybe your students can’t read all that well yet, but they can contribute their ideas. You will then take on the role of a scribe, bringing their unrealised imagination to life like milk magically making invisible ink appear. Concurrently, your young charges can source for pictures and insert them to embellish the writing. Thus, the great thing about co-authoring a book is that everyone becomes a contributor. Who knows? This may be a good time for some of them to develop their prompt engineering skills by using text-to-image platforms, such as NightCafe.

BookCreator boasts an audio function, but I doubt if you can download your e-book as an MP3. Wondercraft comes to your rescue like a life vest worn snugly over your body as you tread the dark waters of adolescent inertia. You can paste your manuscript and have Wondercraft convert it to a podcast. This should appeal to the auditory-inclined students among your charges. You can forward the podcast to their WhatsApp accounts and assign them to listen to it ever so often. Any self-respecting teacher knows that with consistency and constancy of purpose, even weak progress students will come to internalise target words and collocations in time.

Hope these two suggestions help. I will beef up this post when I have more ideas. 💡
