What the Scanning Squad say...

  • “They are brilliant. Really assist the students who only need a few words/sentences read for them. Has replaced the need for computer readers.”

    SENCo, Finborough School

  • “They are fantastic and allow the child to access work independently. This gives them a self-confidence boost.”

    SENCo, Aysgarth School

  • “They give pupils the ability to be more confident in their work and able to work more independently. Pupils are less likely to ask for help than they are to grab the pen and listen to it themselves.”

    Examinations Officer, Emmanuel Christian School

  • “We are currently trialing the reader pens in schools and we are seeing a massive improvement in the children’s work output. But most of all, and the biggest positive, we are seeing a massive boost in children’s confidence and it has only been 3 days!”

    SENCo, Auckland College Independent School

  • “The Reader 2 encourages independence, raises self-esteem and enables the children to feel included in the same learning as their peers. It has had a hugely positive impact on not only learning, but also wellbeing.”

    SENCo, Manor Park Primary School

  • “The Exam Reader 2 is a massive help to us to use the pen during exams. It’s reduced the number of rooms that I need to use, it’s reduced the number of staff that I need to use and I don’t need to apply for special consideration for those students.”
