Introduction
Visual learning plays an important role in the learning process. It takes learning to the next level;engrossing students and helping them easily visualize even difficult concepts. 3D picture or content enhances the visual ability to perceive the world in three dimensions (3D) and the distance of an object.
Watching in 3D gives readers enriched and quality experience keeping readers emotionally connected..
To enhance readers their viewing experience we have three modes given below:
Normal Mode - is the traditional form of representing the Book. Books are traditionally presented in flat Two Dimensional (2D) format.
3D - Projection - The book is enhanced to provide the readers with the perception of depth of image where the depth is shown above the screen.
3D-Depth Mode - The Book is enhanced to provide the readers with the perception of depth of image where the depth is shown behind the screen.
Studies have shown that the crowding effect impacts reading. So special fonts are used to create more space between adjacent letters in the text, and may increase line spacing as well, reducing crowding. Also these fonts are more appealing and easier to read.
Introduction
Précis is one of the most useful skills you can acquire for your work both as a student and as a professional.
Most people read carelessly and fail to fully comprehend the meaning of the passage. Precis reading forces them to pay attention to what they read because no one can write a summary of a passage unless they read it carefully. So summarizing teaches one to read with concentration.
Especially in subject reading and understanding of concepts, summarizing skills help at school. Ability to reproduce information or knowledge is key part of learning. But when the paragraphs and text is long, the mind needs an anchor sentence or a word so that it can use that for recollection.
Introduction
Traditional reading involves eyes searching the words left to right. During this process eyes search for one point in each word called the "anchor point". As the "anchor point" is immediately to the left of the middle of a word the brain processes the word and its meaning. The eyes continue to follow each word by hopping from anchor point to anchor point of words of the sentence till you hit a pause at the punctuation.
Rapid Word Runner is a speed reading technique which helps brain to focus on each word, promoting faster reading speeds and higher information retention rates.
A "comic" is a series of pictures used to tell a story. They usually offer short and easy-to-read sentences, alongside other visual and text cues for context.
Comic books and graphic novels are spread across many different genres, including comedy, drama, sci-fi and fantasy, and there is bound to be something to suit all tastes, ages and reading levels.

Visual stress makes reading an unpleasant and irritating activity. It can have an adverse effect on the ability to recognize the words quickly and to read longer passages of text in a smooth and efficient way so that good comprehension is maintained.
Colored Overlay reducesvisual stress. They are transparent colored overlays that can be placed over a page so as to color the text without affecting its clarity. It will reduce the contrast between the white page and black ink, reducing the strain on the reader’s eyes. The words appear to stop moving and the page will appear clear and still.
The book engages the children with Self-Simulating Behaviour through activities like spinning the objects that stimulate the senses and provide a lot of movement. When the objects spin in response to their push, it also provided cause-and-effect play. And the repetition of the spinning movement provided a third level of satisfaction.

Special fonts are used to help them read and learn.
In the research, it was found that special children have problems with 'crowding', where they are distracted by the words surrounding the word they are trying to read.
Crowding is "the difficulty in identifying a letter embedded in other letters".
Studies have shown that the crowding effect impacts reading. So special fonts are used to create more space between adjacent letters in the text, and may increase line spacing as well, reducing crowding. Also these fonts are more appealing and easier to read.
Introduction
In MyPal you can enter your NAME and your friend's NAME replacing the TWO main characters of story.

Though students choose books that interest them, sometimes they simply have a hard time maintaining focus or relating to the characters. It may be a matter of forgetting what they've read, or connecting all the details in the plot. In any event, empathizing or connecting with characters need to happen in order to truly comprehend what the story is all about.
Readers like to imagine themselves in worlds and situations that challenge them and give them opportunity to do and be something other than what they do or are in their real lives.

Punctuation Marks
Cambridge books focus on strengthening your understanding and use of correct English grammar to improve your grammar skills and master English language..
Punctuation marks are an important part of English grammar and writing. When we speak, we can pause or emphasize certain words and phrases to help people understand what we are saying. In our writing, we use punctuation to show pauses and emphasis. It gives hands-on experience to learn and practice punctuation marks.
It's very important to know all the punctuation marks, their meanings, and when to use them in order to produce a good piece of writing and more importantly, to convey the correct message.
Restrictive and Non-restrictive Clauses
Relative pronouns are important connecting words. Relative pronouns not only connect clauses but also act as the subject or object of the verb in their clauses. The basic relative pronouns are who, which and that. The pronoun "that" should be used for restrictive relative clauses and "which" should be used for non-restrictive relative clauses. It gives hands-on experience to learn and practice Restrictive and Non-restrictive Clauses.
Restrictive (also called "essential") clauses of a sentence are necessary to the meaning of the sentence; as the name suggests, they restrict the sentence to a particular meaning. If you remove the restrictive clause, the sentence would have a different meaning. Restrictive clauses do not require commas.
Non-restrictive (also called "nonessential") clauses of a sentence are not necessary to the meaning of the sentence. If you remove the nonrestrictive clause, the sentence would still have the same meaning. Non-restrictive clauses serve to add extra detail to a sentence without changing its meaning, and are marked by commas.

Auxiliary Verbs
An auxiliary verb helps the main verb and is also called a "helping verb". They are used together with a main verb to give grammatical information and therefore add extra meaning to a sentence; information that is not given by the main verb.
Auxiliary verbs cannot be used without a main verb.
The most common auxiliary verbs are be, do and have. With auxiliary verbs, you can write sentences in different tenses, moods, or voices.

Sentence Formation
The job of grammar is to organize words into sentences.
A sentence is a collection of words that convey sense or meaning and is formed according to the logic of grammar which starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop (.), question mark (?) or exclamation mark (!).
Sentences contain clauses. Simple sentences have one clause. Compound sentences and Complex sentences have two or more clauses.
