The Amazing Cue Card Reader 2.0

 If you follow our blog, you will know that our first post in "Tricks and Tips For the 21st Century Learner" was Janine's DIY video called   "The Amazing Cue Card Reader".  We have come a long way since late November. Janine has improved her reading ability... A lot!

Our school ask purchased a Makerbot 3D printer. It is AWESOME! The possibilities are endless. As a test for the printer, I have created several different models of the original "Amazing Cue Card Reader".  Although the reader is relatively simple (other than the design and manufacturing process), the power this little tool holds is great.

The most progress I have seen this year was a second year student who went from a DRA 18 (late grade 1) to a DRA 70 (grade 7). There were many aspects of this students' gains.  Grit, the Empower Reading program, small class size and of course the "Amazing Window Reader" (which has a back story much like Janine's Amazing Cue Card Reader).

Whether you have access to a 3D printer, or you go low tech. Like I did when I started out, give this old school tool a try, you won't be disappointed!
