We've made the study a place for reading in our house, Jake enjoys the Oxford Reading Tree scheme they use at school and he has large-print versions of the readers but obviously he wants to read other books as well. We use the SmartView for bedtime stories and family time reading which Jake loves. Hairy Maclary is one of his favorites. Sometimes we realise we haven't seen him for a while and he has scurried upstairs to the study to use the SmartView.

Jake is also finding all sorts of novel uses for his kit. He takes his toy cars upstairs and uses the SmartView as a magnifier. The other day I walked in to find him examining the suspension on a toy motorbike!. He worked out all the dials and controls on his SmartView far quicker than we did.

I'm very pleased with my SmartView because I don't have to use my magnifier any more. The one at home is a bit different from the one at school because it has a screen that turns round and round. The children at school think the SmartView is a computer and my teacher lets them use it to make stuff bigger."
