Nifty thing I’ve just discovered!
It really helps my dyslexic 12-yr-old son to be able to
highlight areas of text in his schoolbooks. But we can’t
mark up the books. After much
casting about we found highlighter tape!
Just like regular ‘tape’ but in transparent blue (and other
colours) that you can peel off the text - it doesn’t
damage the page.
This is the company that makes it

Some Staples stores are supposed to carry it. Ours doesn’t
so I wrote Lee and they suggested this online supplier.

It is listed under teaching tools.
I ordered some and it was here in under a week.

Re: highlighter tape
We teach teachers to use this with LD students in their classroom in a workshop called “Dealing With differences”. The teachers love it and say that other students have started using it too!
