Created by a high school student, this free site finds correct spellings and definitions for any word in a document.
 Learn a language by watching a music video. Includes karaoke mode, quizzes, and fill-in-the-blanks.
A universal toolbar for any website or document (even Google Docs) that provides reading, writing, studying, and research support tools.
