The RocketPen Reader and EasyReader bundle is a complete reading and study package for one student: a RocketPen Reader reading pen plus a 12-month EasyReader licence from Dolphin Computer Access. The pen reads printed and on-screen text aloud anywhere, and EasyReader adds summaries, flashcards, quizzes and AI Tutor support for learning and revision. 

One complete package for reading and learning

The RocketPen Reader works offline with no Wi-Fi or computer, reading text aloud with a large word display, syllabification and spell-out. EasyReader then takes over for digital texts, documents and library books, reading them aloud with synchronised word highlighting and dyslexia-friendly fonts, colours and spacing.

Summaries, AI Tutor, flashcards and quizzes: the Explore study tools

The Explore study tools are what set EasyReader apart from a standard read-aloud app. They take any text and turn it into active learning, so learners spend less effort getting through the words and more effort understanding and remembering them.

• Summary: condenses a long chapter, article or worksheet into its key points. For dyslexic learners this cuts the volume of reading, so energy goes on understanding rather than decoding page after page.
• AI Tutor: gives guided support with the text, helping learners explore what they have read and make sense of it at their own pace.
• Flashcards: turn any text into flashcards to revisit key ideas, a practical way to practise, learn and remember.
• Quiz: checks understanding straight after reading, so learners know what has gone in and what to go back to.

The tools work on any text in EasyReader, whether it is a library book, a class handout or an imported document.

EasyReader also gives access to a library of books and learning resources, including the Bookshare collection of 1.4 million books.

For schools

• One purchase covers in-class reading support and independent revision for a pupil.
• Can be recorded as assistive technology provision within the graduated approach and EHCP or SEN support plans.
• The pen needs no IT setup, and EasyReader runs on Chromebooks, Windows, iPad and Android.
• School purchase orders accepted.

For parents and home use

• Your child reads homework and books independently with the pen.
• Revise with flashcards and quizzes instead of re-reading the same pages.
• The AI Tutor offers support when a parent is not available to explain.

Why it works for dyslexia

Dyslexia affects decoding and reading fluency, not understanding. The RocketPen Reader removes the decoding barrier word by word, and EasyReader reduces how much has to be read and gives a structured way to practise and remember it. This is a huge benefit for dyslexic learners, who often spend far more effort reading than their peers.

Exam use of any reading pen is at the discretion of the candidate's exam centre, in line with current JCQ regulations. If you would like help choosing between our reading pen bundles, our team is happy to help before you order.
