But we don't use Word!
Most students in our district don't use Word as their primary writing platform. That's ok! They don't need to start doing ALL of their writing in Word in order to utilize this tool. Instead, whenever you want them to use Reader Coach, do one of the following:
download a google doc as a word doc, and upload it to your One Drive.
copy/past the text into a word doc
See the video on the right for a walk through.
