Crossbow Education

We are specialists in Visual Stress solutions and dyslexia-friendly learning resources. We are a family business, started in 1992 by Bob Hext, who was finding that the games he devised to teach his dyslexic students were more effective than many of the published materials available at the time. The parent Company is based in the UK, where we now employ eight people. Since we patented the Eye Level Reading Ruler in 2005 Crossbow has become the UK brand leader for visual stress products, with reading rulers and/or overlays in over 50% of the schools and colleges in the country. As well as our own publications we sell a wide selection of resources from other publishers, representing what we feel to be the best multisensory teaching resources suitable for dyslexia teaching support available in the UK. Our USA branch carries a smaller range, concentrating on Visual Stress (Irlen Syndrome) resources and a selection of Crossbow's own publications.
