Give GCSE grades a boost by overcoming reading anxiety


Exam season isn’t easy for learners with special educational needs: situations where reading is timed and under pressure can affect anyone negatively.


But each year around a quarter of 11-year-olds don’t meet the expected standard in English, and fewer than 1 in 5 of these learners achieve a 4 in their GCSE grades... which means that it’s so vital that everybody who needs exam accommodations has access to them.

JCQ-approved GCSE reading support that puts learners in control

To help your SEN learners achieve the best GCSE grades possible in timed conditions, we need support that works fast, but understands that your students don’t want to feel singled out. Very few secondary learners want to sit next to a human reader, or take their exams in another room.

The C-Pen Exam Reader 2 relays the text on the page back to the user via discreet headphones, meaning they can focus on their answers instead of spending valuable time decoding reading. It’s as simple as scan, listen, and understand— with independence.

Created for learners, but optimised for exams


The C-Pen Exam Reader 2 is unique: it’s a portable reading support designed especially for learners under exam conditions. It’s a streamlined and secure version of our C-Pen Reader 2, which means...


  • Reliable, rechargeable and Wi-Fi free scanning
  • Exam-safe design (no data storage or recorder!)

So, it’s the same dependable reading support, the same intuitive design... but available to use under exam conditions too, when SEN learners might need it most.

Here’s how the Exam Reader 2 is changing GCSE reading support

It has reduced the stress on them for their tests and exams, and for some, enhanced their learning in class. Year 10/11 students have found a particular benefit to their English papers, as they are able to use the pen to read text that a human reader would not be permitted to read.
