Frame one line, quiet the rest of the page

Reading Focus Cards are slim, coloured overlays with a clear reading window. Laid over a page, they highlight the line you are on and gently tone down everything around it, cutting glare and the busy wall of text that can make reading hard work. This pack includes six colours so you can find the tint that feels easiest on your eyes.

Why people reach for it

Dense pages can be tiring for all sorts of readers, from kids just building fluency to adults who read for hours. Many people who find text swims, jumps or glares, including readers with dyslexia or visual stress, find that a coloured overlay makes lines easier to follow and hold. The clear window keeps your place so your eyes track smoothly, one line at a time, with fewer re-reads and less fatigue.

How to use it

Place a card over the page with the sentence showing through the clear strip, then slide it down line by line as you read. Try the different colours and keep the tint that feels most comfortable, since this varies from person to person. They work on books, worksheets and screens, and are thin enough to slip into a folder, diary or bag. Wipe gently with a soft cloth to clean.

Emily ★★★★★

I’ve tried keeping my place with my finger or a ruler, but these overlays are so much tidier for long reading sessions. The coloured tint really does quiet the rest of the page, and the slim frame makes it easy to slide down line by line without losing my spot.

Eva W. ★★★★★

The clear window keeps my place perfectly without hiding the words around it, and the six colours mean I can switch depending on the lighting. I’ve been using the blue one for dense textbook pages and it honestly makes reading feel less overwhelming.

Violet D. ★★★★★

The clear window really does keep my eyes locked on one line while the colours fade out the rest of the page, which has cut my skimming way down. Six strips means I can stash them in different books and still have spares for the kids.
