Here are two Chrome extensions that will provide reading support to students. Many students who have reading accommodations have these extensions installed on their Chrome browser and are familiar with their use. More information about how to use these extensions is provided when you click the links below.

Select and Speak - Text to Speech

Select and Speak uses iSpeech's human-quality text-to-speech (TTS) to read any selected text in the browser. It includes many iSpeech text to speech voices in different languages. You can configure the voice and speed options by changing the settings on the options page. Click here to add the extension to Chrome.

Use Immersive Reader on Websites

After you install this [UNOFFICIAL!] extension, you'll be able to select text and right-click it to use Microsoft's Immersive Reader with it! Click here to add the extension to Chrome.

The Chrome browser makes it easy to manage multiple users accounts on one device (computer or laptop). This setup will eliminate the need to log in and out of each users account and will keep account passwords, bookmarks, and preferences separated. Click here for directions on managing multiple Google accounts on one device.

Students can access their Gmail account through the Clever portal. Clever will prompt the student for their password on the initial log in. This is the same password that the student uses to log in to their Chromebook. Please note that students can only send and receive emails to and from their teachers and administrators. They cannot send or receive emails to or from other students or anyone outside of our school district.

Each student has a unique Google password. This password is used to log in to their Chromebooks in class. If a student cannot remember the password after being reminded that it is the same as their Chromebook password, please submit a support ticket..
