Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.  I’m Fred Fishkin.   Adding more fun for early readers is always a good idea,  I think.  And Glo Pals is doing just that with a Magic Magnifier that makes books light p and come to life.     The battery powered wand illuminates hidden elements when used on the pages of the books.  The company and its approach come from a Mississippi State University project co-founders Anna Barker and Hagan Walker worked on.  Initially there were light up cubes for the bath that they learned helped children with autism.  Barker says, with the books, the idea is to bring more fun to early reading..

“And that really is a big part of our mission, is how do we find ways to engage kids in interactive technology, but in a way that is inherently hands on.”
