read&write for Google Chrome

read&write for Google Chrome is a commercial Chrome extension created by TextHelp to provide students with technological supports in literacy. r&w is free to install for all users but certain tools are only available for premium users who subscribe to use the tool on an annual basis (after a 30 day free trial period). The extension is free for teachers to use on an individual basis.

As the name suggests, read&write provides supports in two distinct areas: reading and writing. In addition, there are also tools designed to support students with research. The extension is really a collection of tools that are easily accessed through one of three tool bars which appear depending on the activity that is being conducted. These three tool bars are accessed through research/web browsing, writing while using Google Docs/Slides or Word Online, or while viewing a PDF using the read&write PDF viewer. Each toolbar will display the appropriate tools that are available for that usage. The various tools and ways to access them are listed below.
