Abstract
An educational device that makes any existing printed material, such as a child's open workbook, reusable. Children view their work through the clear transparent cover of the apparatus and record answers using a dry erase marker or similar writing instrument. When completed, answers easily wipe away using a damp cloth, allowing for exercises to be repeated many times until mastery. Additionally, original workbook, original worksheet, or original printed matter remain protected and in tact.
