English Covers for ESL Instruction

Problems to be solved:
- Fourteen letters in the English language
differ between the upper and lower case.
- Only upper case letters are imprinted
on computer keyboards.
- Reading mastery is delayed when ESL
students become confused as they look for
lower case letters on an all-CAPS keyboard.
- Students must ask teachers or aides for
help—a frustration for students and teachers.
- Students must wait for help from busy
teachers which delays reading mastery.



English UPPER/lower for ESL instruction




SpeedSkin’s Solution:
A Reading Readiness Keyboard Cover

Reading Readiness covers with English upper/lower case letters imprinted on each key top provide immediate and constant correlation of these letter for all early and struggling readers (aA, bB, dD, fF, gG, hH, iI, lL, etc.)

- Accelerates ESL students’ alphabet mastery.
- Aids teaching English to foreign students in the U.S.
- With the Reading Readiness cover in place, students can refer to the keyboard cover
for upper and lower case letter recognition/identification without asking their teacher for help.
- This independence empowers an ESL student while using reading software or composing
during non-reading instruction.
