Colored Overlays Can These Help You Read Faster?

Colored Overlays Help You Read Faster and EasierDo you or your child struggle to read? 

                  Would you like to remove the visual stress and eyestrain from your own everyday reading and make reading faster and easier?

Eye doctors say using colored overlays over the printed page can often relieve reading stress and even raise test scores in the process.

Colored overlays can:

*  clear up the print
*  help a person read longer
*  improve comprehension and focus

Many teachers I know get several sets for their entire class. 

Some parents get two sets, one for home and one for school. 

Executives get sets for themselves and their employees. 

You’ll be excited to try them out — but there’s a warning - they may help you be a faster, better reader.

As a reading specialist, I know how powerful these overlays can be and what eye doctors have to say about their benefits. 

If you have a child or students with reading problems, I encourage you to try them.  The reading journals say they can raise reading levels by more than a year in less than a week.

Colored overlays are sturdy, 8 1/2 by 11 inch transparencies, which are thick.  Place a color over the print and see how it feels. 

When I read, I use the yellow overlay and I don’t need to use my glasses.  Jeanne Siegel, a parent from Florida, called me today and said that her son actually tapes the blue overlay on his computer screen to remove the glare and blurred print so he can read much easier.
