Read&Write Chrome Extension


Read&Write Chrome Extension


Billed as a technology to improve literacy, but it is so much more than that. I use it in all my classes to show the many ways pre-service teachers can differentiate instruction. You can buy a version of this app but why do that when you can just install the Chrome extension and use it for free! Look at the many features of this valuable tool and there's many more!
  • Text-to-speech read what I type including individual words, passages, or whole documents aloud with easy-to-follow dual color highlighting.
    Read and Write Icon
  • Text and Picture Dictionaries Provide definitions and display images to help with word comprehension.
  • Vocabulary List creates a list instantly into a new doc, including selected words, the dictionary definitions, images from Widgit Symbols, and an editable notes column.
  • Check It reviews writing for incorrect grammar, spelling (phonetic), capitalization, punctuation, verb tense and more. Audio Maker converts selected text into an audio file, and automatically downloads. Talk and Type turns the spoken word into text.
  • Word prediction offers suggestions for the current or next word as you type
  • Collect highlights from text in documents or the web for summarizing and research
