{"product_id":"assorted-reading-rulers-pack-of-8","title":"TDS Assorted Reading Aid Ruler","description":"\u003cp\u003eA coloured reading ruler is a flexible, tinted plastic strip that sits over a line of text to reduce glare and help the eye track along the page. It is one of the simplest and most affordable tools for supporting readers with \u003cstrong\u003evisual stress, also known as Meares-Irlen Syndrome\u003c\/strong\u003e, whether they are in a school classroom or reading at home. This reading ruler is available as a mixed set of 8 colours or in single colours, with tints chosen to match The Dyslexia Shop range of tinted exercise books and paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor many readers, black text on bright white paper can appear to glare, blur, swim or move. Reading through a coloured tint lowers that harsh contrast, which can make letters sit still and feel calmer on the page. The printed tracking line gives the eye a physical anchor, supporting fluency and reducing the line-skipping that is common in visual stress. Because the ruler covers a single line at a time, it is discreet, portable and quick to pick up, with no training needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFor schools and SENCOs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhole-class screening made easy.\u003c\/strong\u003e A mixed set of 8 colours lets a class or group trial different tints over the same passage to find the shade each pupil finds most comfortable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits existing SEND provision.\u003c\/strong\u003e Reading rulers slot neatly into support under the SEND Code of Practice and can be named in a pupil's EHCP or individual support plan as part of their normal way of working.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuits primary and secondary.\u003c\/strong\u003e Useful across Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 4 and post-16, and easy to share, replace and store in a pencil case or exercise book.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJoins up your visual stress support.\u003c\/strong\u003e The colour-matched tints let a pupil carry the same shade across reading rulers, coloured overlays and tinted exercise books.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFor parents and children\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCalmer reading at home.\u003c\/strong\u003e A single comfortable tint can take the strain out of homework, reading practice and bedtime stories.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTry before you settle.\u003c\/strong\u003e The set of 8 lets your child test colours at home and keep the one that feels easiest on their eyes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilds reading confidence.\u003c\/strong\u003e Reducing glare and keeping the eye on the line can help a reluctant reader stay with a page for longer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy to carry.\u003c\/strong\u003e Light and flexible, it tucks into a book bag or doubles as a bookmark.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVisual stress can occur on its own or alongside dyslexia, and reducing the black-and-white contrast is a recognised, low-cost first step many schools and families try. The correct tint is highly individual, which is why a mixed set is the practical way to find the right colour rather than guessing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are not sure where to start, the mixed set of 8 is the easiest place to begin, and you can reorder single colours once your pupil or child has found their shade.
