What & Why? Here is a list of the features that support students' literacy learning:

  • Text to speech
  • Embedded dictionary with visual icons
  • Words Lists - Highlight vocabulary words and export the highlighted words to a vocabulary word list in a Google Doc, complete with icons and definitions, as well as a column for notes.
  • Highlight - Highlight in up to four different colors and export highlighted text to a Google Doc for paraphrasing, commentary, and more.
  • Mark and annotate PDFs


How Tos:

  • Install and Get Started: Here are directions for Beaverton School District teachers for getting started. Note: There is a new PDF reader this year called "Texthelp PDF Reader". You can install the extension from here. We no longer use "Snapverter". (Document for BSD Teachers only. Updated 2017-18 academic year.)
