- Choose "Define" from the pop-up menu.
- You will now get the "Dictionary" panel on the side that will list the definition, as well as any similar words.
- You may choose to type in one of the synonyms in place of your original word.

Pupil Pref - For students who have a difficult time reading text on a paper, a common accommodation has been to place a colored transparency sheet over the paper so the page has a slight color tint. This can help the student to focus on the text better. The Pupil Pref Add-on aims to do the same thing for digital documents. When you run the Add-on you get a list of 16 colors
You give the student a page of text pulled from a book, article, websites, or such. The student then blacks out all of the text, except for the words they want to leave behind to form a poem. This can be helpful for students struggling to write a poem. This is a common project on paper but translate digitally very well.
