Closed-Captions in DreamBox Reading Park

DreamBox Reading Park offers closed-captions as an option to boost student understanding as they play and complete lessons. Closed-captions are especially helpful for hearing-impaired students or students without access to headphones so they can read the instructional text on their screen.

How Do I Turn Closed-Captions On or Off?

Note: Educators can't turn closed captions off or on for students from their dashboards, so students will need to control closed captions from the student environment. As a student, you can select captions with or without background audio. The lesson and character voices will continue to be heard with the background audio off.

Students can adjust the music, sound, and captions settings in the student environments based on their learning preferences. 

To adjust the audio and closed-captions (CC) settings:

• Click the Settings button at the top of the learning environment (the images below are of the grades K-2 environment). The Settings window opens.

What Content Is Captioned?
