Check It – Check Spelling and Grammar in a Google Doc
This powerful little toolbar just got a new tool!
They recently added a feature that allows you to check for spelling and grammar errors in a Google Doc.
Tools that check for spelling or grammar errors are nothing new, but what about phonetic spelling, homophones or other confusable words? That’s where Check It comes in. Check It is Read&Write’s new and improved spelling, grammar, and confusable word tool that allows users to be notified of potential errors as they type.
The Check It tool appears on the far left-hand side of the toolbar.
Click the checkmark icon, and the magic begins. All spelling and grammar mistakes will be underlined as you see in the image below. Then you click on each item that is underlined to correct, ignore, or add special words to your own dictionary.
To see how this works in closer detail below is a short video that shows you how to use the Check It tool.
What a great way to help our young writers, support struggling learners, and help us all catch errors.
