Science of Reading is Changing Schools
But what happens to students while they learn to read?
Reading intervention takes time
Reading pens help students with dyslexia and learning difficulties access the curriculum today, while their skills develop for tomorrow.
The challenge
Schools across America are investing in the Science of Reading, from earlier screening and structured literacy to targeted intervention.
It's a positive step forward, and more than 40 states have already introduced aligned policies.
But even the best intervention takes months and years to work. In the meantime, the curriculum doesn't pause.
Students still face science texts, social studies readings, maths word problems, homework and assessments every day.
For students with dyslexia and other learning difficulties, this creates an access challenge.
When access barriers go unaddressed
- Increased reliance on teachers, paraprofessionals, specialists and parents
- Missed learning opportunities and reduced classroom participation
- Declining confidence and motivation
- Difficulty demonstrating knowledge, even when understanding is strong
- Inclusion gaps, despite high-quality intervention being in place
The solution:
Reading pens
Science of Reading helps students build literacy skills. Reading pens help them access learning while those skills develop.
The C-Pen Reader allows students to scan printed text and hear it read aloud, giving them independent access to classroom materials, textbooks, and worksheets across all subjects.
With reading pens, schools can:
- Improve curriculum access from day one
- Support MTSS and intervention goals
- Increase learner independence
- Lower reliance on adult support
- Strengthen inclusion for every learner
