Read&Write Premium is FREE to all teachers, and two more ways to gain access to this tool for students...
Remember! The Read&Write for Google (RW4G) Premium extension is available to qualifying students on IEPs by following the Fast Track referral process. Please contact your AT rep. with questions.
TextHelp offers their premium tools to all teachers for FREE: link to free membership form
*Please note! The premium extension may take up to 48 hours to appear. When you click on the extension (purple puzzle piece) the first time, you will need to hit "allow access" to activate the extension. Texthelp PDF Reader and Screenshot reader require installation. Please visit the Chrome Webstore to install both the PDF Reader and Screenshot reader (this must be done under your BVSD account)
Did you know that, at any time, your school can purchase a block of 30 subscriptions to the Read&Write for Google Premium extension? Subscriptions are $12/student per month and run until June 2021. (minimum purchase is 30 subscriptions) School licenses have no restrictions (can be used with any student-- ELL, gen ed, MTSS, etc) and licenses are easily transferable.
