As more and more children became a part of the public education system, reading, writing, math, and scientific studies were becoming common knowledge. 

However, as more and more students were being taught by professional teachers in large classrooms, they couldn’t help but notice, that some of the students were not capable of properly learning how to differentiate between letters and numbers. 

Over time, these students began to be known as students with learning and reading difficulties, which the most common one among them, is Dyslexia. Today, almost twenty percent of students are diagnosed as students with reading difficulties such as dyslexia. 

These students require a different teaching method, using tools and devices which were designed specifically for the purpose of teaching students with reading difficulties how to read on their own. One of the most popular tools that are being used is a pen that reads to you.
