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.
