The Readingpen Basic Edition featuring the American Heritage Children’s Dictionary and Thesaurus, provides a simple and easy way for people with reading difficulties, learning disabilities or dyslexia to get immediate word support when they are reading texts at the Elementary, Middle and High School levels.
The inclusion of the Thesaurus provides, a quick and simple alternative for the user to gain an understanding of the words being read – with the push of a single button, the user can switch between the dictionary definition and the thesaurus entry. Seeing and hearing both the definition and the list of similar words, spoken aloud.
The Readingpen Basic Edition’s new feature of “lock dictionary access” whereby a teacher or parent can prevent access to the dictionary and thesaurus, allows the Readingpen Basic Edition to be used in testing environments (Massachusetts has already certified the Readingpen Basic Edition for use in the State’s MCAS test).
The Readingpen II will continue to be sold alongside the new Basic Edition, providing those users who require help with more advanced texts (High School and older), with the more detailed dictionary definitions and wider word coverage that is required for these more advanced texts.
The Readingpen Basic Edition, priced at $279 (the same as the Readingpen II),
offers a great opportunity to both develop new markets with it’s “simpler,
younger” approach, as well as expanding opportunities within existing customers.
The Readingpen Basic Edition is available for ordering now,
with first shipments expected to begin early July.
Enclosed is a preliminary copy the new Readingpen brochure
that features both the Basic Edition and the Readingpen II (Full, final versions
will be available with shipments of the pens)
