Excellent Extension: Readability Redux

As a Special Education teacher, there are often articles or websites I want my students to visit during class. However, they often get visually overwhelmed because most websites have ads, links to other articles, videos, comments: the list goes on and on. In order to eliminate this problem, I use a Google Chrome extension called Readability Redux. 

 Readability Redux eliminates the clutter and distractions from websites to make them easier for our Special Education students to focus on reading or looking for information. Take a look at the two images below- the first is a news website, and the second is the same article after using Readability Redux. The results speak for themselves! Try it in your classroom!
