We all love the Immersive reader in our Microsoft products. But nearly 70% of all schools have chromebooks where the Immersive reader is not embedded into the platform. Now you can add the Immersive Reader into your Chrome ecosystem by adding the unofficial Immersive Reader Chrome Extension. Find it HERE: bit.ly/GooExtensions

THANK YOU! This is going to be so helpful for those using Chromebooks who don't have access to Immersive Reader in Microsoft Edge. I loved that it didn't ask for a bunch of unnecessary permissions. I avoid many extensions because of the permissions factor.
