Abstract
A teaching aid for increasing the reading efficiency of a dyslexic. The teaching aid comprises a transparent sheet of material having a plurality of horizontal color gradient that is placed over an area of text to be read. Preferably, each color gradient covers a single line of text. When the color gradient covers the text area, a less distracting environment is created and allows the dyslexic reader to more readily focus and concentrate on the lines of text.
Claims15
A teaching aid for a dyslexic, comprising:
- a transparent sheet of material;
- and
- colors forming horizontal lines on the transparent sheet that cover at least a portion of an area of text to be read, each color comprises a plurality of color gradients, each color gradient covering at least a portion of one line of text,
- wherein each color gradient creates a less distracting environment and allows the dyslexic to more readily focus and concentrate on the lines of text to be read.
An aid for increasing the reading efficiency of a dyslexic, comprising:
- a transparent sheet of material having a plurality of colors that cover at least a portion of an area of text to be read;
- and
- a plurality of horizontally positioned color gradients for each color, each color gradient covering at least a portion of one line of text,
- whereby each color gradient creates a less distracting environment and allows the dyslexic to more readily focus and concentrate on the lines of text to be read.
