Is Reader Assist free?

Yes, and it will stay free. There's no paid version, no trial that runs out and no account to create: every aid works as soon as you install it from the Chrome Web Store.

Does it work on Chromebooks and school computers?

Yes. Reader Assist runs wherever Chrome does: on Chromebooks, Windows, Mac and Linux. Students don't need accounts, and each of them can switch off the aids they don't need.

Does it work on every website?

On almost every web page you open in Chrome: news sites, Wikipedia, online textbooks, shops and search results. Chrome doesn't let any extension change its own pages, such as settings and new tabs, or the Chrome Web Store, so the aids don't appear there.
