Evernote Clearly is a great tool to use for reading articles online. Clearly cleans webpages of any distractions such as ads, excess columns, hard to read fonts, animated gifs, etc. and provides teachers and students with a clutter free online reading experience. This tool is great for students who are easily distracted, and helps to place the focus solely on the written content. The example below illustrates the concept behind Clearly. When I arrive at a website or blog with a lot going on, I simply click the Clearly extension in Chrome and a clean, background free page, composed entirely of easy to read type face appears in its place.
