Dyslexia Support in the Classroom:
How Reading Pens Help Students Read with Confidence

Supporting students with dyslexia with the right tools

Dyslexia affects how people process written language, making reading slower and more challenging.

Teachers and learning support staff need effective tools to help students with dyslexia access text, build confidence and independence, and participate more fully in learning.

One of the most effective assistive technologies available for supporting students with dyslexia is the reading pen.

Discover Scanning Pens for Dyslexia Support

If you are a teacher, learning support teacher, special education teacher, or support professional looking for ways to help students with dyslexia.

What Is a Reading Pen for Dyslexia?

A reading pen for dyslexia is a small device that scans printed text and reads it aloud as a student moves it across words or sentences.

It can include features such as text replay, adjustable volume, and definitions for unfamiliar words.

Rather than struggling with difficult words, students can simply scan the text and hear it read aloud.

This can help students with dyslexia: 

  • Decode difficult words
  • Improve reading comprehension
  • Follow along with printed text
  • Build reading confidence
  • Work more independently

For teachers and learning support staff, reading pens are easy to introduce into everyday lessons. They encourage student independence, support participation across different subjects, and can reduce the need for constant one-on-one assistance.
