The EYE LEVEL READING RULER is a coloured
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 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:
you will know quickly which colour “works”.
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.
