​If you're a teacher, and don't already have Read&Write for Google Chrome installed, head to the Chrome Store and download it before registering for your free subscription. If you already have a trial or an expired trial, you're all set with this step.

Then just go to https://www.texthelp.com/en-us/products/read-write/free-for-teachers/ and register by filling out the Teacher Registration form with your name, email, school, administrator, and other details that confirm your eligibility. Note: Be sure the email you provide is the same as the one you used to install Read&Write for Google Chrome. And remember, this is only for teachers. Entering student information in the form could be against your school or district’s student privacy policy.

That’s it! Once confirmed, your trial of Read&Write for Google Chrome will automatically be converted into a premium subscription for one year.
