BeeLine Reader

BeeLine Reader is a tool that helps students track their reading as they move from line to line. For students who get lost or overwhelmed with too many words on the page, this tool can be a simple aid to help them focus. BeeLine Reader works by using a color gradient that remains constant at the end of one line through the beginning of the next line, which helps students to track their place while reading without even realizing it. It is frequently used as a Chrome extension, but also is an iOS app and an accessibility feature on websites like Bookshare.
