Read-with-Ease™

THE BLOCK CENTER

I’ve had numerous students, over the years, that seem to read better when they put a colored overlay over their reading material. I have tried lots of different colors and formats. Students have individual likes and dislikes in the color they want to use.

The problem I found was that the colored plastic was usually 8 1/2 by 11 inches in size. I tried to cut the size down but then had to contend with the plastic tearing and having sharp edges.

The Read-with Ease™ alleviated the above problems. The colored overlays -- also called “markers” are durable and small enough to use on worksheets and paperback books. Children and adults seem to enjoy using them.

Remember, ADD and ADHD (in fact all students, thrive on novel ideas.) When you first start using these “reading aides” all the students will undoubtedly clamor to use them. Over time, students who experience a true change in their reading ability due to the colors will continue to use them on a regular basis.

People of all ages can see an immediate improvement in comfort, clarity and comprehension when they use a favorite colored bookmark for reading.

Color preferences may change -- depending on lighting and a person's mood. Only the user can decide which color works best. The color preference may change from day to day. That's why there are 5 different color choices.

Reading through the marker might also help reduce glare and ease eye strain.

Read-with-Ease™ consists of 5 colored plastic overlays. They are 8" by 3".
