I just learned about something cool today called a reading pen. Basically if you are having trouble reading a word or don't know the definition of a word you are reading you can use this pen to scroll over the word and get the pronunciation or definition. It looks pretty cool. I learned about it in a meeting with a student who is very bright but sometimes has trouble with words so that causes problems with his reading comprehension. The pen pictured above seems to be one of the top of the line pens and is about $250 (there seem to be cheaper ones that just read and don't give the definitions for about $70)
