Overview
Accessibility Tool Digital Reading Grades 5–12+

Clusive is CAST’s free adaptive and accessible digital reading environment. It is intended primarily for secondary and postsecondary learners, especially students needing reading or accessibility supports, with students, teachers, special educators, accessibility staff, and researchers using it to support accessible reading, annotation, vocabulary, text-to-speech, strategy use, and learner agency.

Learners read imported or assigned texts with configurable display, text-to-speech, vocabulary, annotation, and comprehension supports. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Features
Audience and instructional role
  • Grades / learners: secondary and postsecondary learners, especially students needing reading or accessibility supports
  • Primary users: students, teachers, special educators, accessibility staff, and researchers
  • Learning focus: accessible reading, annotation, vocabulary, text-to-speech, strategy use, and learner agency — CAST’s free adaptive and accessible digital reading environment
How it supports learning
  • Learners read imported or assigned texts with configurable display, text-to-speech, vocabulary, annotation, and comprehension supports.
  • Teachers should connect use to explicit learning goals and inspect student work rather than rely on completion, time-on-task, or engagement alone.
Implementation and instructional decisions
  • Verify current hosting and support because this is a research-informed free tool rather than a conventional licensed curriculum; review content permissions and account/data practices.
  • Districts should confirm accessibility, language support, student-data practices, assignment workflow, reporting, and the continuing role of teacher judgment.
