See-N-Read–Frustration Buster!

          

I was introduced to See-N-Read -we are so thrilled! At first glance – these small simple tools might look like nifty bookmarks – to underline text in a book – place markers.

I put them around the house and encouraged the family to use them in their daily readings – Here is we experienced –

Angie – “I had a teacher’s assignment to read quite a few pages from a text from the early 1900’s. The text is small, the type font is difficult to read, especially in the evening with tired eyes.  I pulled out the Memory Mark to help me underline parts of the texts to report back to my online group – and discovered my first joy! My eyes relaxed. I could hold the book farther away. I had less strain deciphering which word or line I was on. What a joy to read this text with the See-N-Read Memory Mark!”

Nate – “I really like the See-N-Read when I am doing my Writing work. For the past two days I have been outlining paragraphs and I get frustrated with finding my place each time.  I used the See-N-Read with my homework and the frustration was gone! It was easier to find my place, know which paragraph I was on, and the Narration part of re-writing the paragraph went so much faster!”

Jon – “I like the See-N-Read when I read big paragraphs. It helps me to know what line I am on while I am reading – that is the hardest part for me is jumping lines.”

Angie – “ I was working on html code online with WordPress – Trying to put a photo album into the website. I was missing a few words of code and was getting frustrated. I remembered that I had the See-N-Read for the PC on my computer so I turned it on to help me read the code piece for piece. I found it quickly – frustration gone! If I was activly working on web sites right now, this would be a must have product!”

Angie – “I have used the See-N-Read with the books and online.  The larger the text – the harder it is to use the product – it takes a bit of learning to move the marker down the sheet in time with fast reading.  Online, it seems that the more strained and tired my eyes are – the more it helps. For my morning blog reading – it was a hindrance to me – as I had to scroll the page and the bookmark. I did find, with practice, I got the page to move with ease. We were doing quite a bit of online reading for Lego League – and it would have been nice to have to keep the whole class on the same line of reading.  I would purchase the See-N-Read or the See-N-Read Markers – but I am not sure we would have an immediate need for the See-N-Read for the PC at this time.”

More than a bookmark – easy to underline tool- or reader guide – is the science behind this carefully crafted product. The company sent me the information in printed format which I really appreciated. You can read the Articles, Research and Story of the products on the links below.
