Reading Pen
PN:AUGC-0027 Price: $215

When students who struggle come across words they do not know, it interferes with their reading practice and comprehension. They must stop reading and attempt to decode the word. If they don't understand the word, students must also look up a word in a traditional dictionary. Many students find these tasks difficult and overwhelming, or they pass over the words they do not know missing valuable learning information. The Reading Pen, by Wizcom Technologies, is the handheld tool that lets students scan a word, hear the word read out loud and get its definition at the push of a button. Students increase reading independence and extend their reading time for learning or pleasure. Grades 4-12
