Reading Helper Blue Standard Long

I was a little skeptical when I was given the Reading Helper and asked to write a description about it. How could this tool, with such a simple design, help reading problems? So I tried it for myself. I have always had a problem with skipping lines when I read, and I soon realized that that one problem caused a multitude of bad reading habits for me. I would read too close to the page, which in return would give me a headache, making reading not such a fun activity. After trying the Reading Helper for myself, I know what it can do to improve your reading habits and make reading the joy it was meant to be! Now if a Reading Helper can help me, as an adult, just imagine what it can do for a child with reading problems. I recommend this product to anyone, young or old, who has a reading problem such as skipping words or lines, rereading lines, transposing letters, losing concentration, getting headaches when they read, reading too close to the page, or for children who just don't like to read. To use the Reading Helper, just place it on top of the line to be read. When you are done reading that line simply slide it down to the next line. The colored plastic highlights the line making it easier for the reader to focus and concentrate on the words. The standard and standard long are both 8mm and used for tracking one line at a time. The wide is 16mm designed for larger print or tracking 2 to 3 lines at a time. Both the standard and wide are 7" long, while the standard long is 8.5" long for wider pages. Alysia
