Reading Aids
| Bookholders Page Turner Aids Highlighters e-Books |
Several aids are helpful supports for literacy activities:
- Adjusting the position of books and reading materials to suit an individual student can make the content much more visible or accessible.
- Being able to turn pages, without having to call for help, frees a student to read at his or her own pace.
- Highlighting not only makes important information stand out, but helps students find information easier and faster.
- Portable alternatives to heavy dictionaries and other reference materials allow students to more easily find answers to questions and pursue their interests.
