Engaging Readability Statistics
|
| |
Writing essays is not like speaking. You want to use formal English when writing essays. In order to help you do this with Microsoft Word adjust the Spell Check and engage Readability Statistics. You can use Readability Statistics and Spell Check like a game, when: composing, revising, changing word choices and sentence structure, to bring up your Flesch-Kincaid Reading Level, that’s the grade level at which your text is written. To enable this great built-in tool follow these simple instructions and then have fun writing and seeing at what grade level you are composing.
Go to: Tools, then select: Options. Click on the Tab marked: Spelling and Grammar.
Check the box: Show Readability Statistics. In this same tab, under writing style select: Formal. Click: OK.

Internet Service Providers
|
| |
Affordable Internet Service Providers (ISP) are out there. You do not have to spend a lot to get on line. Used hardware (monitors and computers) found in area stores, thrift shops or through the recycler can prove to be bargain finds. Your ISP connects you to the Internet through either phone or cable lines.
Find an ISP is a directory service. Neither Mr. Joyet, nor LAUSD endorse any of these companies, nor do we profit from any relationship you choose to engage with any provider, save the improvement of your skill set. Free services are also available in the community, such as Franklin’s library, the public library, and several local agencies have free resources for you to use. Please contact Mr. Joyet directly for more information.

Here is a short list of ISPs that are very affordable and will connect you to the Internet from home.
