Line reader tool

Seamlessly embed an interactive line reader into questions and assessments to improve reading accessibility


The line reader guides the reading experience for learners who may need extra support, by displaying a single line at a time to read and obscuring adjacent lines of text from view. This prevents students from losing their place on the page, alleviating frustration so they can retain their focus and engage fully with the material on-screen.

Line readers are often recommended as an accommodation in classroom activities, including student assessments.

Line reader in questions

In the example below, the line reader is embedded in a single question. Click on the line reader button to display the tool. Click and drag the line reader to move it around the page, and click and drag the bottom right corner of the line reader to resize.

Line reader in assessments

The line reader can also be added to the student menu in an assessment, making it available for use on any question, throughout the entire assessment. Click on the menu icon in the top left corner of the assessment to access the line reader.
