-
Edge, as well as Google, uses a built-in dictionary feature that allows users to quickly find definitions of words.
-
The definitions and word information are sourced from Oxford Dictionaries.
-
To look up a word's definition, simply double left-click on the word, then click on either "Ask Copilot" or "Search" from the pop-up menu.
-
The Oxford Dictionaries are available in more than 50 languages.
-
To define a word, double-click it to highlight, then right-click and select Define or Search in Sidebar. This allows you to view the Oxford definition without leaving your current story page.
-
The Read Aloud feature highlights each line in light blue while words appear in yellow as they are read by a choice of TTS voices.
-
Depending on the nature of the word, the initial entries may be either text or images.
-
After the initial entries, users can often click on other authoritative dictionaries like Merriam-Webster, or encyclopedias such as Britannica.
Because definitions open on the Web, strict parental supervision is necessary when teaching young children.
Aesop’s parables, which were written long before the advent of Jesus, have been rewritten countless times. This rewrite of “The Pig and the Sheep” along with the others are the handiwork of Totally Literate.
One day a shepherd discovered a fat Pig wandering in the meadow where his Sheep were grazing. He quickly attempted to catch it. But the porker squealed the moment the Shepherd came towards it. And when the Shepherd laid hands on it, it squealed so loud you would have thought that the Pig was being butchered alive.

After a story or a paragraph like the one above has been accessed, a relative link may be selected, then translated into scores of languages. The transcription is shown side-by-side English text, which may be read aloud.
-
Side-by-Side Comparison: Clicking the image below triggers a pop-up window, allowing you to compare the original English and the translation simultaneously, making it an incredibly powerful tool for language learners and scholars.
This example below of Irish-and-English is from the Encyclopedia Britannica.
