Read&Write for Accessible Learning and Teaching
Read&Write is a Chrome extension that can support all students by reading text aloud, simplifying and decluttering webpages, providing tools to create study guides, and to gather information from documents and webpages when doing research. This useful tool is available to all students. As a teacher, you can have your students use this tool to create their own study guides, use the text reader as a first read to get the students familiar with the vocabulary and content, and can help you differentiate instruction for your students by simplifying text and supporting vocabulary, just to name a few ways.
