These great reading aids have been developed to help struggling readers by relieving the symptoms of Visual Stress. They have been awarded the UK Special Needs Product of the year 2014 and are now available in the USA. Visual Stress describes the discomfort experienced by some when viewing text. It affects 20% of the population, and 5% to the point of making reading very difficult, or even impossible. It can cause headaches, poor tracking, the apparent movement of words and letters, and slow or halting reading, to name just a few symptoms. Unfortunately it is often misdiagnosed as a symptom of Dyslexia or other learning disabilities, when it is actually an entirely separate condition. The simple act of reading through a colored overlay can solve these issues - however it is very important that the correct color is used. Crossbow Education have developed the reading rulers through a research based model, ensuring that the optimum palette of colors are available. They have designed them so that they are not only small and discreet (they look just like a bookmark), but also to work as a tracking device. If you know any struggling readers, these are a must. The reading rulers come in packs of 10 colors, to ensure that the correct color for each individual can be identified, as well as single color packs for those who already know their most effective color. See for yourself why over 60% of all schools and colleges in the UK already use these award winning products!
