MobyMax provides several options for enabling read-aloud functionality, making learning more accessible and engaging for students. The read-aloud feature supports comprehension and skill development by allowing students to listen to curriculum text in selected subjects.

By default, MobyMax has read-aloud sound enabled in the following areas:

  • Math – All levels
  • Fact Fluency – All levels
  • Language – All levels
  • Vocabulary – All levels
  • Foundational Reading – All levels
  • Early Reading Trio – All levels

  • Reading Skills Literature/Informational – Only questions for all levels
  • Writing Workshop – All levels are read aloud except for essay sections
  • Science – All levels
  • Social Studies – All levels
  • Test Prep and Review – Questions at all levels; passages in Reading Skills Test Prep and Review do not have read-aloud
  • Spelling Lists – Words and sentences (if applicable); no sound for custom word lists
  • Phonics and Spelling Rules – Sentences and words are read aloud
  • Alphabet Letters – Letter sounds
  • Alphabet Sounds – Letter sounds
  • Phonics Spelling – All levels
  • Phonics Blending – All levels
  • Numbers – Upper levels have animated Teach Me lessons with read-aloud

MobyMax's Reading Level Assessments do not include read-aloud functionality, as these assessments measure a student's independent reading ability without assistance.
