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.
