Reading assist

What is the Reading assist tool?

The Companion Reading assist tool helps students with ADHD, dyslexia, or general reading fatigue to focus on the content they are reading.

It provides options to add either a screen mask or a reading ruler in various colors, which follow the user's cursor so that they can focus on one area of text at a time.
