The New Heights Fast & Smart Reading Pen is loaded with audio files for all titles from New Heights, original Rainbow Reading, miniRAINBOWS, ToXic, Totally ToXic, Lingomagic, Choose a Path, Selections, Marathon and Arahia books.
In real, human voices; with good expression and correct pace, the Pen reads the pages from all our series (over 400 titles):
This high-tech audio pen; comes with a USB charging cable and earphones (for independent learning).
SMART…
You can also record 800 of your own clips (up to 5mins each) with the reusable stickers.
Here’s some ideas of how to use them:
- Record any book in your own voice (students, parents/grandparents when away/late home)
- Translate books in a different language
- Label things around the home, classroom, or daycare (e.g. “time to eat your lunch Timothy” – recorded in his parent’s voice)
The sticker-recording function is extremely easy to use:
Simply (A) press the “record’ button, (B) touch the sticker number you want to record, (C) speak then, when finished, (D) press “record” again.
Stickers can be recorded over* by repeating the process above.
*A special “teacher’s mode” makes this process harder – makes the recordings more permanent (enter this mode again to record over).
For busy teachers/tutors/parents, you can have your student/child record a book using the sheet at this link (just attach your stickers).
If you laminate it, it can be written over and reused by another student later.
After your first Reading Pen of an order, subsequent ones are only $100 each.
NOTE: Some series require (free) stickers added to pages

Always very helpful with great service.

Very excited about using this with our struggling readers. Much easier to use than old cassettes, CDs, or finding digital files on a dedicated device.

I was sad that the introduction to each book is crackly but otherwise it’s good.

Thank you for your review. The issue you have raised is covered in our Troubleshooting Guide (see link in the description) – Like computers, it’s to do with the few seconds the Reading Pens take to load a new file when you click on a new book. Once loaded, there is no more crackling.
