All students can learn and succeed, but not in the same way and not in the same day.

Tech Tip from Mrs. Pool
The Selection Reader Chrome extension will read any highlighted text aloud. Once it's installed, just highlight the text you want it to read, then click the icon in your toolbar. It might be a good resource for struggling readers or EL students, especially for use in classes other than ELA. They can add the extension in chrome anytime they are logged into a chromebook.
Click here to find the extension in the Chrome web store.
