Colored Overlays from Crossbow Education have been developed in consultation with the top research scientists in the field. They can be of help when readers experience words, letters, or even whole lines "jumping" on the page; colored "auras" or white patterns interfering with the text; headaches, nausea, irritated eyes and other reading discomfort. Whole page colored overlays are recommended instead of reading rulers where no additional tracking support is required, such as in examinations, sheet music, math or quizzes


WHY CHOOSE CROSSBOW overlays? 

Unlike other brands available in the USA, Crossbow overlay colors are evenly spaced around the color spectrum, enabling the maximum number of effective combinations of tints to be achieved. Crossbow overlays have a matte coating on one surface, and have been subjected to stringent testing to ensure that maximum print clarity is retained while reflected light from the overlay surface is significantly reduced. Nevertheless, some people prefer using the gloss side of the overlay. The colored overlay comes with a protective peel-off film: just scratch the corner of the overlay to loosen the film for removal.
