|
NO OTHER
SIMILAR PRODUCT COMBINES SO MUCH THAT HELPS PEOPLE - CHILDREN AND ADULTS
ALIKE - WHO ARE AFFECTED BY VISUAL STRESS.
|
Launched in 2004 to provide a user-friendly alternative for Irlen
syndrome sufferers who resist using the more intrusive large overlays,
these reading rulers are now in over 50% of the schools in the UK. They
are the only product of their type available anywhere that COMBINE
ALL THE FOLLOWING ESSENTIAL FEATURES:
|
1)
A sufficiently wide range of colors to meet the needs of all children who will
benefit
from using a colored overlay product
(Smith, Wilkins, British Journal of Psychology 2007)
2) Tinted strips on the edge of
the ruler and not as a central “letterbox”, ensuring that context is not
lost.
3) A choice of single line or
paragraph depth tracking, differentiating individual needs and ensuring that
fluency can be achieved while using the reading ruler.
4) One side matt coated, one side gloss; again
allowing for individual preference
(Wilkins, “Reading Through Colour”, Wiley 2003)

The EYE LEVEL READING RULER is a colored
overlay 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 colored tint. Simply read the
text through either of the tinted plastic strips of your selected color, and
track down the page: broad strip for paragraphs; narrow strip for single lines.
- Narrow (app. 1 cm)
strip for highlighting single lines of text.
- Broad (app. 2.5 cms)
strip for scanning ahead in a paragraph, and for studying diagrams, tables,
columns of figures etc.
- Text marker (a solid
line on the edge of the broad strip) for tracking down a paragraph.
- Colours can be
combined to
create up to 30 tints.
-
Ideal for all ages - kindergarten to adult.
- School, college, home
or office use.
- Easy to store;
inexpensive to buy.

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.
