The Best Google Extension!

How I Use It

Read&Write is a google extension. So, once the extension is installed on your students' google account (which takes about 5 minutes), they are able to use Read&Write to engage with any digital content on their google drive/google classroom. One concern that teachers sometimes have is: "What do I do with all of my pdf documents?" Well, there is another google extension called Snapverter, where you simply drop the pdf in a folder and it converts the documents into an editable version where you can then use Read&Write. Typically, I use Read&Write when my students are reading independently. Additionally, the tool is very helpful when students are answering comprehension questions that I have posted on their google classroom. Read&Write offers many powerful tools that help students navigate the reading and writing process. For example, some tools include: text-to-speech, speech-to-text, create/listen to voice notes, highlight important information, collects the highlights into one spot after reading, and picture dictionaries.
