READING/TEACHING AID

摘要

A method of reading using a reading aid (12) including a handle part (14) which is adapted to be gripped manually at a location spaced from text to be read, and a cursor part (15) attached to the handle part (14) and extending transversely thereto, handle part (14) and the cursor part (15) being attached by a joint (18) which permits the handle part (14) to be moved relative to the cursor part (15) during reading, the cursor part (15) being positionable by manipulating the handle part (14) to indicate a part of a line of the text being read, the method including moving the cursor part (15) along the line and/or down the text during reading to indicate successive words or groups of words, whilst manipulating the handle part (14) relative to the cursor part (15) so that the handle part (14) is maintained out of the reader's line of sight whilst the cursor part (15) is maintained generally flat against the text.
