Students have recently found a new way to read lines of text in books. The C-pen is a new device that actually scans lines of text. It is handheld and easy to use for most students of all ages. That device helps them understand lines in a book and read text on their own.

C-pen is a new technology application that assists in literacy.

Come to understand some of the primary symptoms of Dyslexia in students. These dyslexic students will want a teaching aid to help them learn to read. The C-pen may help them remove a stumbling block that prevents them from acquiring certain reading skills. Parents are equally impressed by the C-pen technology for books.

Since his diagnosis, Angus’s school has been exploring ways to facilitate his learning with an individual plan and useful technology.

Is your child struggling in school?

Get your free personalized learning roadmap

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.

  • Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
  • Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
  • You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
  • Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly

Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.

Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.

Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.

A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
