Screen Mask in the Classroom
In this section, we'll explore how Screen Mask transforms learning experiences for students with attention difficulties in your classroom.
Supporting All Learners
Screen Mask benefits every student by:
- Maintaining focus on the active reading area.
- Reducing visual distractions so students can better track and process text.
- Supporting reading fluency by improving text tracking and minimizing skipped lines.
As a MTSS Tier 1 strategy, Screen Mask is a universally beneficial classroom tool that aligns with Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles by promoting engagement and self-regulation.
Supporting Students with Attention or Processing Challenges
Screen Mask offers targeted benefits for students who:
- Have ADHD, dyslexia, or visual stress and need structured visual guidance.
- Struggle with executive functioning skills such as sustained attention and task focus.
- Experience sensory overload when processing large amounts of visual information.
These supports are particularly valuable in MTSS Tier 2/3 interventions.
Supporting Multilingual Learners
English Language Learners (ELLs) can use Screen Mask to:
- Isolate smaller portions of text for improved comprehension.
- Reduce cognitive load when reading complex or unfamiliar language.
- Maintain focus while tracking text, supporting language acquisition and reading confidence.
