Foundations (Ages 6–12)
Literacy and growing independence

Literacy, classroom participation, and growing independence.

At this stage, students are building academic skills, joining classroom activities, and learning strategies for independence. The right technology gives them instant access to information, interactive tools for exploring STEAM, and the chance to complete assignments at the same pace as peers. For teachers, these tools make it easier to adapt materials, track progress, and foster inclusive participation.

Key needs in the classroom:

Instant access to print and digital content in accessible formats. 

STEAM participation through accessible diagrams, tactile graphics, and adapted software. 

Tools that match functional vision for maximum efficiency and comfort.

explorē line

A family of portable magnifiers available in multiple sizes, designed to match the needs of students as they grow.

For students: the 5” and 8” models are simple, lightweight, and often serve as a first magnifier, giving younger learners independence without overwhelming them. For older students in this age group, the 12” model provides a larger screen for worksheets, board viewing, and more detailed tasks.
