Emergent Readers
- Can be young, new readers in Pre-K through grade 3
- Can be children, teens, adults or more mature individuals working hard to become literate for the first time.
- Have difficulty learning new words and how to read those words in context (i.e., decoding, fluency, etc.
- All ability levels
How these individuals would use the tools with books, documents & some tech devices:
- Use to more easily learn new or unknown vocabulary and spelling words.
- Because of the challenges of learning to read and write for the first time, reader may experience some degree of “text overwhelm” in addition to other difficulties. Such a reader can use the tools to help improve attention, focus, comprehension and retention of content.
- Use with portable e-readers and tablets, too. (Protective film required for device screens to prevent scratching with this application.)
Examples
- By moving the tool’s Reading Notch or Reading Window over a new word (from left to right), readers can easily breakdown words into phonemes or syllables for more effective learning (decoding).
- Can select from among the yellow, deep blue or clear/non-glare reading filter colors provided for each tool to help improve visual comfort when learning to read.
- Can isolate 1-2 lines of text (depending on font size) with each tool. Surrounding text not needing immediate attention will be covered by the tools, decreasing distractions and “text overwhelm” as well as improving focus, comprehension and retention of content read.
- Also experience more focus when using the tools to read e-books and other digital text on e-readers, tablets and other hardware. (Please place a protective film on tech device screens to prevent scratches.)
