Identifying the stresses in exams for primary schools


It’s important your exam environment is as relaxing as possible to ensure students perform at their best. Being a student with reading and comprehension differences can feel isolating, but reading pens can create inclusive and rewarding environments for everyone.


The C-Pen Reader 2 is a reading device that can be used in the exam hall, as well as the classroom: with its handy exam-lock function, it's test-ready and approved by exam boards, meaning learners can read with ease and focus on showing the examiner what they can do.

What’s the benefit to assistive tech exam support?


Assistive tech is revolutionising how students take exams. Letting students hear scanned exams questions aloud with tools like the handheld C-Pen Exam Reader 2 is providing a strong foundation for both KS1 and KS2 students and helping them attain higher levels of reading confidence.


Even better, you can do all this for your students while saving hundreds, so you’re ready come the school budget reviews! Time to take control of your exam stress.
