At Dolphin, we believe every student should be able to read and learn in a way that is accessible for them.
Why Accessible Reading?
Providing the tools to read in a way that is accessible has a profound impact on students' education and wellbeing. A study which provided accessible content and assistive technology found that:
- 56% of students improved their reading
- 71% improved their level of achievement
- 68% improved their confidence
- 100% of teachers saved time by having a central repository of accessible texts.
Benefits to Schools, Colleges & Universities
Flexible Reader for a Range of Student Needs
Accessibility means different things to every student. EasyReader Premium provides a flexible reading accommodation to support students with a range of educational needs.
It means every student can read in a way that is accessible for them; whether they need particular screen colours, fonts, spacing, voices, or help focusing on the text they're reading.
"All of the benefits for students are also benefits for their teachers.
Those kids will have greater access to written material for independent learning, revision, and developing a love of books."

Save Time and Support More Students
Providing students with accessible resources and the tools to read independently saves valuable time for your team.
No more last-minute rushes to a photocopier to make a large print copy of a worksheet, or contacting a publisher for an electronic version of a textbook or novel! EasyReader Premium enables students to read all of their learning resources in ways that are accessible to them, which frees up time for your team to support other students.
A Bridge for School and Home
When students sign in to their EasyReader App with an Education Plan, it automatically saves their book list across all the devices they use for reading at school and home.
This means students can open any book in EasyReader App and continue from the place they were previously reading. EasyReader Premium also saves your student's bookmarks, notes and accessibility settings. Perfect for homework and reading when they travel.
Over 15% of students have a Special Educational Need.
This represents more than 1.6 million students in England and 7.5 million students in the US*.
Taking a school-wide approach means every student can read and learn in a way that is accessible.
