What are Learning Tools?

Learning Tools are a set of features available in Microsoft OneNote, Word, and other apps that help improve and build literacy skills, such as reading comprehension, fluency, and written expression.

Use the Immersive Reader button to launch a full screen reading experience. Once launched, press Play to hear content read out loud. Change screen colors and line spacing to make text easier to read or use line focus to highlight smaller pieces of longer content. Improve reading comprehension by breaking sentences down into syllables or using the picture dictionary to see a visual representation of a word.
