  The EYE LEVEL READING RULER is a coloured overlay text highlighter  about the size of a six-inch ruler...

                                                ...that will fit easily into a pocket of pencil case, or can be kept in the pages of a book as a bookmark. Discreet and not childish-looking, the reading ruler is made of a combination of opaque and transparent plastic that both underlines the text and highlights it in a coloured tint.  Simply read the text through either of the tinted plastic strips of your selected colour, and track down the page: broad strip for paragraphs; narrow strip for single lines.

  WHAT COLOUR?
  Our ten colours have been selected to provide the optimum choice between tints while also recognising  the areas of the spectrum that are most frequently beneficial. Within that selection, our "five most popular colour" packs reflect the commonest choices from our own statistics.  There is no complicated testing procedure: your students (or you, if they're for yourself) will know quickly which colour "works". When you do know what tint(s) you want, you can buy single colour packs from this page, or you can use the order form that comes with the reading rulers to specify the exact mix you require. 

  WHY TWO DIFFERENT PACKS OF TEN?

  Mixed Set of ten
  This is the best testing pack. To make sure no-one who might benefit from a reading ruler does not miss out, try them with all the colours available, and create extra colours by using two reading rulers together. (If two are found to be necessary, stick them together with glue on the opaque area)

  Standard  (5 colour) set of ten
  Commonest choices tend to cluster in certain hues, particularly blue and yellow. If you are teaching a group of students on a limited budget, or with little available time for testing, this is a popular option, although there is a chance that someone will miss out.
