    I work with ESOL middle school students. I want them to read independently and the immersive reader helps with that. Adding the immersive reader to PowerPoint would be extremely helpful.

    Everything I read says that Immersive Reader is available in PowerPoint, but the only option seems to be to add Speak to the toolbar. Please add it!

    Currently there are not any programs that integrate with my school's LMS that will act as a slide deck to help sequence instruction and read the text on slides. Teachers want to know why this isn't there and are using the One Note app instead. My students need the chunks of information, sequenced, visually presented, and in a stimulating format PowerPoint can provide. The only thing that is keeping me from using it as a major tool to deliver content is the lack of an immersive reader feature. Even if I have to zone areas of text in each slide, it would still be worth the time and effort. When you upload the powerpoints to teams as an assignment the audio doesn't work either. Major bummer.

    Why is immersive reader not available in Powerpoint? It is a Microsoft product. With so many ELL students in schools, it's vital to have this tool asap.

    In Google search it states Immersive reader is available in PowerPoint but I can't see it. Please can you add this tool to PowerPoint.

    This would be fabulous addition particularly for pupils with ASN - however ultimately all pupils would benefit.

    For ear readers, it’s a must when there is no voice recording on PowerPoint presentations.
