Appendix I English Language Arts Audio Guidelines
EXAMPLE: Text Only/Text and Graphics
• Quotation marks should be read as “quote” before the text and “end quote” after the text.
• If the quotes surround the title of a work, do not say, “quote.”

Appendix J Mathematics Audio Guidelines
• Read dollars and cents if there is a decimal point.
• Do not read shortcuts for numbers. For instance $.25 should be read as twenty-five cents instead of a quarter. This will allow a more standardized presentation of monetary quantities.
