My Project

Some students have great difficulty reading text and other literature on the page. This can be due to dyslexia, dysgraphia, and other learning disabilities. By using the special reader pens, the students can run the pens across the page, and it will be read to them through Bluetooth earbuds.

Reader pens give a student the ability to read and hear the written works of an author.

Furthermore, it reaches more varieties of learning styles so the students can more easily retain the information. Some students need to see the words and hear them to understand.

Your donation will help give students the edge they need to be successful in ELA and develop skills for use in real-world situations.
