Works fine
These are designed for bigger text like in children's books. The reading area exposes 1-2 lines of text at a time. They're made of thin flexible plastic and are easy to slide around on the pages of a book. I think I would have preferred the pack to have varying widths for the reading area. Exposing two lines to read at a time defeats the purpose of focused reading for my child. These are a reasonably durable option for kids who have dyslexia or get overwhelmed by the words on a page. Good amount for a group of kids.

Helps a lot
Side Note: I am a 4th grade teacher and frequently purchase items for my classroom.My review of this item: I ordered this for my low/average readers who are struggling with tracking while reading chapter books. They are perfect.

Good but not great as bookmarks, ineffective for neurodivergent readers
First of all, it's an OK product.We obtained this product because our home has two different neurodivergent adults, one with dyslexia and another with ADD.DYSLEXIAThis product specifically mentions dyslexia in its description. This and similar types of products continue to be used as both an intervention and treatment for dyslexics. However, the dyslexic in our household used the different colored versions of these overlays and noticed little to no difference in their reading.This shouldn't be unexpected given recent studies have shown tinted overlays are ineffective at improving children's fluency, rate, accuracy, or comprehension for reading. Another study has shown that colored overlays may have a negative impact on reading for adult dyslexics. Given the lack of improvement and a potential decline in reading performance, the dyslexic adult chose to no longer use this product as a reading aid.ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER (ADD)The adult with ADD likewise noticed no significant difference in reading or ability to concentrate. However, the overlays were effective as a simple visual aid when matching the color of a book's cover with an overlay; purple cover with purple bookmark, blue cover with blue bookmark, etc. It was also beneficial to use the clear strip of the overlay to stay focused while reading along in a group setting.OVERALLI cannot recommend this product as a reading aid for dyslexia or ADD, but they are fine as bookmarks.The plastic does make them fairly slippery so they have a tendency to fall out easily. I found this especially true when used in some of my larger, spiral bound books. I also found this product to have more bookmarks than I actually needed. This product is likely a much better option for a larger family, a school, library, or any organization with multiple members with books and could use bookmarks.On a positive note, the overlays are fairly thick and sturdy, so I'd expect them to last for quite some time. They've been durable over the past 2 months of use, and the colors are reasonably vibrant and quite attractive for what they are.

Easy to use!
I use these with my tutoring students. They are extremely helpful for my second and third graders who lose their place while they are reading. Since they are sheer, the kids sometimes forget to move the reading strip down because they can still see the words! Highly recommend!

Nice reading view
These strips have been instrumental in helping the kiddos stay focused and on track with their reading. The strips are easy to use and the words can be read easily as well through the lightly tinted window. The strips are also helpful for keeping information marked for quick reference when they are doing book reports also. These guiding strips are durable and a great value!

My Students Love These
I have been a teacher for over 35 years and have often used some type of highlight strip to help my students better track while they are reading. My students we so excited to use them. They are in 5/6 grade and a few of them stuggle with oral reading. This bookmark has been a great way for my students to stay focused and follow along with more success. I highly recommend this set of highlight strips/bookmarks.
