Made by SmartPens4U, it has no dictionary, no thesaurus, no translation function, no data storage and no Wi-Fi, so it is built to meet JCQ access arrangement criteria for reading pens. Exam use is always decided by the candidate's centre in line with current JCQ regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe student runs the pen along a single word or a full line of printed text and hears it spoken through the included earbuds in a clear, natural voice. Two scan modes (continuous and single line) make it simple to switch between rapid reading and careful word-by-word listening. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery keeps the pen ready for a full paper without battery changes, and the ergonomic body works equally well for left and right-handed users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor schools\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSENCOs and exam officers can use the RocketPen Exam to support candidates whose normal way of working in lessons already includes a reading pen or a human reader.

The RocketPen Exam removes the decoding bottleneck: the student scans the line, hears it read clearly, and can then spend their cognitive effort on understanding the question and planning the answer. This is the same logic that underpins the JCQ provision allowing reading pens as an access arrangement where they form part of the candidate's normal way of working.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe British Dyslexia Association recommends assistive technology, including reading pens, as part of the toolkit that helps dyslexic learners access curriculum-level material independently. Used consistently from KS3 onwards, a reading pen typically improves both reading stamina and confidence in extended written assessments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are buying for a school, our team can quote on class packs and provide a pro-forma or 30-day account invoice for purchase order processing.
