The EYE LEVEL READING RULER is a coloured overlay filter and text highlighter about the size of a six-inch ruler...
...that will fit easily into a pocket of pencil case, or can be kept in the
pages of a book
as a bookmark. Discreet and not childish-looking, the
reading ruler is made of a combination of opaque and transparent plastic
that both underlines the text and highlights it in a coloured tint.
Simply read the text through either of the tinted plastic strips of your
selected colour, and track down the page: broad strip for paragraphs; narrow
strip for single lines.
WHAT COLOUR?
Our ten colours have been selected to provide the optimum choice between
tints while also recognising the areas of the spectrum that are most
frequently beneficial. Within that selection, our "five most popular
colour" packs reflect the commonest choices from our own
statistics. There is no complicated testing procedure: your
students (or you, if they're for yourself) will know quickly which
colour "works". When you
do know what tint(s) you want, you can buy single colour packs from this
page, or you can use the order form that comes with the reading rulers to
specify the exact mix you require.
WHY TWO DIFFERENT PACKS OF TEN?
Mixed Set of ten
This is the best testing pack. To make sure no-one who might benefit from a
reading ruler does not miss out, try them with all the colours available,
and create extra colours by using two reading rulers together. (If two are
found to be necessary, stick them together with glue on the opaque area)
Standard
(5 colour) set of ten
Commonest choices tend to cluster in certain hues, particularly blue and
yellow. If you are teaching a group of students on a limited budget, or with
little available time for testing, this is a popular option, although there
is a chance that someone will miss out.
