Abstract:
1. A method of reading using a reading aid including a handle part which is adapted to be gripped manually at a location spaced from text to be read, and a cursor part attached to the handle part and extending transversely thereto, the handle part and the cursor part being attached by a joint which permits the handle part to be moved relative to the cursor part during reading, comprising forming the joint to permit substantial universal movement of the handle part relative to the cursor part, positioning the cursor part by manipulating the handle part to indicate a part of a line of the text being read, moving the cursor part selectively along the line and down the text during reading to indicate successive words or groups of words, and manipulating the handle part relative to the cursor part so that the handle part is maintained out of the reader's line of sight while the cursor part is maintained generally flat against the text.
