A life-changer for struggling readers“Before I had the ReaderPen I wasn’t that confident with reading big general books that all my class could read, but I really wanted to read them. When I got the ReaderPen I realised I could read bigger books like all my classmates. It makes me feel happier just knowing that I can go and get the scanning pen and scan over text I am struggling with. I don’t feel as anxious inside when I am reading anymore.” – Student, Ladybrook Primary School<a href="https://www.scanningpens.co.uk/ReaderPenUK/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.scanningpens.co.uk/ReaderPenUK</a>
