What Are the Activity Guides?
A digital lesson in Speak Agent combines two elements: (1) an ordered set of activities and (2) tailored content such as reading passages, games, vocabulary sets, and visual aids. Each guide describes one of the many activities available in Speak Agent, along with the research-based strategies used in the activity. Research sources may be found in the Learner Variability Navigator.
