🔊 Select to Speak Feature on Chromebooks

For students who are struggling or beginning readers, enabling Select to Speak on Chromebooks is an awesome accessibility feature. Students simply select any text online and hit the search button 🔎 + s and the text is read aloud. Even better, the text is framed and each word is highlighted as it's being read to allow students to follow. There are several ways to customize the voice and colors, too. View this tutorial to see how to access and utilize it.
