Literacy @ SCSC
Rewordify – FREE Online Literacy Tool
Do you have trouble trying to decipher difficult words and text? We spotted a new free online tool you can use that re-words jargon into simpler terms so it’s easier to understand.
Given we’re in remote learning this literacy tool might come in handy.
Simply pop the difficult text in and it re-words the phrase or passage to make it easier to understand.
Have a look and see what you think. We’ll be interested in your recommendation.
