The voice recording took a while, but I am always looking for ways to increase accessibility in my activities and I think it was worth it. My school has a large number of students with IEPs and are on modified programs, so I think the audio instructions would help them as they are reading the instructions. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks! I changed the format of instructions to different pages at the last minute and I think it made a big difference. I originally had everything on one page, but I thought for some students this may seem overwhelming. I’m glad it makes sense to other people too and thanks for the feedback!
