These tools can circumvent cognitive processes, hindering elementary students from developing a large bank of correctly spelled words essential for automatic reading and literacy.
Once Alexa+ is active, go into the notebook you want to share and tap the share icon in the upper-right corner. (You'll likely need to tap the top of the page for the menu bar to appear.)
