Adobe PDFs
Please note: The Adobe PDF resources available on this website are designed specifically for English and Spanish-speaking students. Due to limitations in Adobe’s platform, these PDFs cannot be automatically translated into other languages using Adobe tools.
Being that there are so many Adobe PDFs on the Totally Literate website, it would be wonderful if everyone knew how to use them.
Here's how, once a PDF is clicked on, it will open on the Adobe platform as shown pictured below.
Steps to use PDFs —
Step One:
We click the hamburger menu on the top left of our display, as shown pictured below.
Step Two:
We click on View, then we scroll over and down and pick Page display, then we choose either Single-page view or Two-page view. The steps are illustrated below.
Step Three (Words Per Minute):
After clicking on "Reading," the Preferences menu will pop up. Next we look at the rectangular box with a black border. If necessary, we change the figures in it from 150 to 120. At this slower rate, the delivery is still within the normal range but the words are drawn out somewhat thus easier to understand.
Step Four:
We click on "Preferences," shown circled in the picture below.
Step Five:
When we click on "Preferences," a user box will pop up, like the one pictured below without purple markings. Then we click on "Reading," which will make the voice-option box pop up. Now we click on the caret next to "Microsoft Helena Desktop," to find another speaker.
However, because her native tongue is Spanish, and in addition, speaks English fairly well, we will keep her to read aloud both languages. But if we prefer to read aloud only the English, then we could choose "Microsoft Zira Desktop," who speaks English quite well but Spanish quite poorly.
Step Six: (Read Out Loud):
To activate "Read Out Loud," we go back to "View," then to "Read out loud," and lastly to "Activate Read Out Loud," as shown pictured below.
Step Seven:
To commence reading aloud, we merely click on whichever passage we want to hear first. The narration will stop at the end of the passage, or it will stop sooner if we click elsewhere on some other passage.
