Does anyone know where I can get these? I've been reading about right brained children and it turns out I have 2. They both complain about black type face. It seems to them any other color is easier to read. I remember seeing these somewhere and now I'd like to try them.

Hi Jen,
I used these with some of my students when I was a school teacher. I can't be of much help because the school supplied them but I do know we called them "acetate sheets" which might help you in locating some. I have to add that I'm not real sure if they helped much, but it motivated the kids to read! The left brained kids all liked them too, but I will say that after a while the left brained kids quit using them and the right brained kids kept on, so maybe they helped more than I think.

Becky,
At least now I know what I'm looking for!

Is this what you mean? I have them for Ryan. It looks like a ruler with the middle cut out and a piece of clear colored acetate inserted. It helps him focus on chunks of words rather than being distracted by the whole page.

Thanks Deborah!

Exactly what I needed, and more! This board is an awesome resource.
The colored notebook paper will keep them organized by subject, the colored tape is cool too. I originally just wanted the framed viewers, but now I have a choice of all kinds of good stuff!

Jen
