Seven colours. $3.60 each.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the narrow one. The window is 32mm deep, which is about one line of normal print - so a reader who skips lines, re-reads the same line, or loses their place gets one line shown and the rest of the page quietened down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe tint is doing two jobs.\u003c\/strong\u003e It cuts the contrast between black ink and white paper, which is what causes glare and eye strain under classroom lighting, and it marks out the line you are on so your eye does not slide onto the one below. Different people find different colours easier - there is no single right one, which is why the range exists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the small one rather than the wider guides.\u003c\/strong\u003e A 32mm window is the tightest of the three and gives the most support. It is the right starting point for a reader who is genuinely losing their place. If they find it too restrictive - if they need to see the sentence ahead - move up to the medium or large.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne honest caveat.\u003c\/strong\u003e Coloured overlays help some readers a great deal and do nothing for others. They are not a treatment for dyslexia and the supplier does not claim they are. Buy a couple of colours, let the reader pick, and keep the one that works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt $3.60 a set of a few colours costs less than a paperback, which is the sensible way to find out what helps.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MTA Essentials","offers":[{"title":"Blue","offer_id":53793041056107,"sku":"EVERSQ-B1B","price":3.6,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green","offer_id":53793041088875,"sku":"EVERSQ-B1G","price":3.6,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey","offer_id":53793041121643,"sku":"EVERSQ-B1GR","price":3.6,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Magenta","offer_id":53793041154411,"sku":"EVERSQ-B1M","price":3.6,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange","offer_id":53793041187179,"sku":"EVERSQ-B1O","price":3.6,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red","offer_id":53793041219947,"sku":"EVERSQ-B1R","price":3.6,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow","offer_id":53793041252715,"sku":"EVERSQ-B1Y","price":3.6,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/2795\/8891\/files\/ersq-b1_59c0b3aa-e8d5-45de-be20-d1b43ba38128.jpg?v=1788357689","url":"https:\/\/megaofficesupplies.com.au\/products\/reading-guide-sentence-strip-small","provider":"Mega Office Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
