Happy New Year! 🚚 Our warehouse is officially open and shipping has resumed!

Transform the reading experience and reduce visual stress with our Guided Reading Strips. These transparent, coloured overlays are a simple yet highly effective piece of low cost assistive technology designed to help individuals with Dyslexia, Irlen Syndrome, and ADHD focus on text and improve reading fluency. Available in standard sentence strips, large paragraph overlays, or a comprehensive combo pack to suit every reading level.
Visual tracking issues and "visual stress" (where text appears to move, blur, or wash out) are significant barriers to literacy. These strips directly support NDIS goals by:
Reducing Visual Stress: The tinted overlay reduces the harsh contrast between black text and white paper, which can alleviate eye strain and headaches associated with Irlen Syndrome.
Improving Focus & Tracking: The opaque guide line (on the small strips) or large tinted area isolates specific lines of text. This helps users "track" the line they are reading without skipping ahead or losing their place, a common challenge in Dyslexia.
Building Literacy Capacity: By making the physical act of reading more comfortable, these tools encourage longer reading sessions and support skill development in literacy and education.
We offer three variation options to suit different reading materials and needs:
Standard Sentence Strips (Set of 8): Ideal for beginners or those who need to isolate a single line of text. Great for standard books and worksheets.
Large Paragraph Overlays (Set of 8): Designed for reading larger blocks of text, textbooks, or wider pages. Allows the user to view a full paragraph while still applying the colour tint.
The Complete Combo Pack (16 Pieces): The ultimate toolkit. Includes 8 x Standard Strips AND 8 x Large Overlays. This is the best choice for NDIS participants, providing versatile support for everything from novels to A4 workbooks.
Visual Stress Relief: Softens the glare of white paper to reduce fatigue.
Assorted Colours: Each pack includes a variety of colours (e.g., blue, yellow, pink, green) allowing the user to experiment and find the specific tint that works best for their visual processing.
Dual Function: Works as both a reading tracker and a bookmark.
Durable & Safe: Made from flexible, durable PVC material that is water-resistant and easy to clean.
