Quicktionary Reading Pen (Oxford Dictionary)

Reading PenDesigned specifically for people with dyslexia who require support with reading, the Reading Pen is an ideal tool to help with reading words that the user can't spell, pronounce or comprehend. The Reading Pen promotes independent and inclusive learning as it reduces the need for additional support; in other words students and adults can continue reading and studying without asking for help from colleagues or teachers.

GROTTO GRIP 5 PACK grotto_grop

Finally, a grip with all the 'write' features - Developed and tested by pediatric occupational therapists specializing in handwriting. Writing is fifty percent of literacy, this product will help your child be all they can be.

'I am a teacher and the occupational therapist at our school recommended this pencil grip for a few of my students. It works really well in training their hand to hold the pencil correctly. It is a little bit large, but I find it helps students hold the pencil correctly. For my kindergarten student, I need to remind him how to hold it and watch that he tucks his middle finger under correctly. I very much recommend this grip'.
