Bring the Magic of Finger-Tracking to Digital Reading
Children focus best when a parent sits beside them, pointing to each word. ReadingHand brings that reassuring experience onto the screen for children reading on Raz-Kids™.
Pointing isn't just a habit — it's one of the most reliable tools reading teachers use to keep young readers on track, now on every Raz-Kids™ book.
A little guidance makes all the difference.
A simple guiding hand, right on the screen.
When a finger points, a child's eyes follow. ReadingHand puts that familiar, proven guidance on screen for every digital book on Raz-Kids™.
Seamless Integration & Synchronized Virtual Pointer
Works automatically once activated: The hand follows each word as it is read aloud, so your child keeps their place and stays focused — no complicated setup required.
Important: This is a Chrome Browser Extension for Laptops and Desktops only. It does NOT work on iPads, iPhones, or Android tablets.
Designed around the reading experience.
ReadingHand is intentionally simple: one clear purpose — keeping your child's eyes on the words — without ever getting in the way of the story.
Visual reading guide
A guiding hand tracks each spoken word, holding young eyes exactly where the text is being read.
Simple to use
Install once and the hand appears on every Raz-Kids™ book automatically — nothing to set up or configure.
Built for children
Calm, predictable, and distraction-free. It guides the reading without interrupting the story.
Works with Raz-Kids™
Designed to work with the Raz-Kids™ platform, while remaining an independent, unaffiliated product.
Why pointing works.
ReadingHand is built on a strategy reading teachers have trusted for decades: pointing to each word as a child reads it aloud.
One word, one point
Marie Clay's landmark Reading Recovery program builds early reading on one-to-one matching — the understanding that each spoken word matches one written word. A moving pointer makes that connection visible.
Eyes keep moving forward
Eye-movement research shows that without a steady guide, young readers' eyes skip words and double back more often. A hand that tracks the text keeps the eyes moving forward, word by word.
Focus follows the finger
A child's attention naturally follows a pointing hand. The same principle that works at the kitchen table works on screen — keeping focus on the line being read.
ReadingHand applies these well-established classroom strategies to digital reading on Raz-Kids™.
Bring the guiding hand to the screen.
Give your child the steady hand a parent offers on every Raz-Kids™ digital book.
