Reading fast is not just about improving speed to save time and skim the content. It involves reading fluently while being able to comprehend and retain the information for a longer period of time. Speed reading not only facilitates academic success, but also helps an individual in his personal and professional life.

See-N-Read Reading Tools are designed to help readers improve fluency and ensure smooth line-to-line transitions without stopping. The reading strip, ReadBar™, consists of a non-glare transparent window, which allows the readers to view content as small chunks instead of separate words. It helps to filter out the distractions, focus on the content within the reading strip while simultaneously tracking the upcoming information. In addition, the reading tool also allows the reader to smoothly move across the words being read, without losing place on the page.

Here are some other benefits of reading faster with See-N-Read Reading Tools:

Improves Memory

The human brain requires regular training so that it can perform better, even in challenging situations. Speed reading compels the brain to grasp and process information at a faster pace. With regular practice, it will improve your ability to retain information, filter out the irrelevant information and store the important content more quickly.

Boosts Academic Performance

Reading fast can significantly improve the academic performance of the students. This is because they will be able to read comprehension passages, understand the context and answer the questions asked in a much lesser time. Minimizing distractions and controlling eye movements also help the child to maintain complete focus on the reading material.

Reduces Fatigue

A quick reader is likely to cover more information in a much lesser time. It not only saves a lot of time but also reduces fatigue caused due to prolonged strain on the brain and eyes. The time thus saved can also be utilized for other commitments or recreational activities, which ultimately keeps the mind refreshed.

Enhances Logic And Reasoning Ability

Reading is an intellectual exercise that improves your brain’s efficiency in sorting new content and developing connections with the information already stored. When you have a better than normal reading speed, all these processes will also occur at a faster rate. This will ultimately improve your reasoning and problem solving ability.

Learning disabilities are neurological problems that can make it difficult for the children to acquire simple skills such as reading and writing. They can also have an impact on the manner in which the child organizes and retrieves information. These days, many assistive reading tools are available to help children with learning disabilities. These tools allow them to read fluently and more accurately reducing distractions on the page.

Listed below are some signs that may indicate your child has a learning disability:

• Issues in speech: If your child is unable to speak clearly or has a slow language development, he may be having a learning disability. Pay attention if he has a limited vocabulary and finds it difficult to communicate his thoughts. Difficulty with speech clearly indicates some sort of a problem.
• Poor motor skills: Another sign of learning disability may be poor co-ordination and irregular development of motor skills. Your child may find it difficult to learn how to sit, walk, use scissors or differentiate between colors. As he grows up, he may also have issues in writing letters and numbers.
• Restless behavior: Some children get easily distracted and display restless behavior most of the time. This is another probable symptom of a learning disability. Your child may not follow your instructions and may not be able to concentrate on what you are saying.
• Trouble with memorizing things: Children with a learning disability can also have problems with memory and routine. For instance, they will not be able to remember the exact manner in which daily activities need to be performed. There may also be a lot of trouble in understanding and following multiple instructions. Such things may confuse them even more.
• Clumsy posture: Other signs of a learning disability may include difficulty in performing simple activities such as skipping, jumping or catching. Your child may also be physically clumsy and may keep on bumping into things more often as compared to other kids of his age.

Apart from these, there are certain signs that your child might exhibit during the course of his development. When children are loaded with more responsibilities and start handling complex work, they can display clear symptoms of a specific learning disorder. For instance, they may have difficulty in remembering facts, forming a time-table for finishing a project, organizing thoughts for public speaking etc. As a parent, you need to observe your child in order to understand if he exhibits any signs of a learning disability. Recognizing the symptoms early on can help in tackling the problem effectively.

Children with learning disabilities often find it difficult to concentrate and keep a track on page while reading, which in turn affects their reading speed as well as fluency. Children who have Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, ADHD or those who tend to skip word or lines while reading can greatly benefit from reading strips. These are practical assistive tools aimed at improving the ability of the readers to see, focus and retain any information that they read.

See-N-Read Reading Tools are research based learning products to help struggling readers develop an interest in reading, rather than simply focusing on maintaining place on the page. The products come with a clear ReadBar™, a ruler sized strip with a cut out window that needs to be placed over the sentence being read. The shaded transparent part of the reading strip helps to filter out other distractions, such as tables and images, without entirely blocking the line that has to be read next.  

Besides children, people of any age group with mild to moderate deficiencies in thinking, learning and study skills can benefit from See-N-Read Reading Tools. The reading strip can be a great tool for people who are reading complex material, fatigued, have difficulty controlling their eye movements, read slowly or have comprehension deficiencies. The tools help to develop and utilize unique strategies to improve reading skill, along with the ability to understand, retain as well as apply the learnt knowledge in real life situations.

How Are The Reading Tools Used?

The reading strip needs to be placed on the content so that the text can be read through the cut-out window. Move the strip down as you complete reading a sentence, allowing a smooth line transition and maintaining place on the page. The shaded portion helps the reader to see the content in large chunks to reduce pattern glare and avoid affecting reading speed.  

See-N-Read Reading Tools can be easily used with all types of reading material, including documents, spreadsheets and standardized tests. The reading strips come in two different sizes, “Book” (5 ½” x 3” for regular size books) and “Document” (8 ½” x 3” for larger books and printed documents). The clear window fits most commonly used font sizes.
