A color for facts, a color for actions, a color for questions. Reading becomes a plan.
The problem it solves
Highlighting everything is the same as highlighting nothing. The value of a five-color pack is a system: one color for facts to remember, one for actions to take, one for questions to ask, one for quotes, one for definitions. The book becomes an index of what to do next.
What it is
Five chisel-tip highlighters in assorted colors.
From the manufacturer’s own listing, the features that matter:
- BUY A BIC AND WE’LL GIVE A BIC: This back to school season, when you purchase BIC highlighters, we will donate one to teachers and classrooms in need
- Back To School Essential: One 5-count pack of BIC Brite Liner Highlighters in assorted fluorescent colors, sized right for a student's backpack, pencil case, or a teacher's classroom supply drawer
- Built For Students: Chisel tip highlights broad lines across textbook passages or fine-underlines key terms in notes, making it the right tool for studying, test prep, and everyday class work
- Translucent Ink That Stays Out Of The Way: Ink emphasizes what matters on the page without covering the text below, so students can highlight and still read every word they marked
- Long-Lasting Ink: Each highlighter writes up to eight hours without drying out, even with the cap left off, so a 5-pack carries students from the first day of school through the end of the semester
Who it is for
Students and readers who mark up what they want to remember.
How to use it in a routine that sticks
Decide the five meanings once and write them inside the front cover of every book. Highlight sparingly; a page with three marks is more useful than a yellow page. On Sunday, copy every action-color line into the planner and every fact-color line onto an index card.
What buyers say
Praise. Reliable and cheap; buyers note they do not bleed through most book paper.
Complaints. They do bleed on thin Bible-style pages.
Who should skip it
They bleed through thin paper and most Bibles; use a pencil underline there. Not for e-readers, obviously; the Kindle has its own highlights.
Alternatives worth a look
- iPad (10th generation) — study, courses, reading pdfs and handwritten notes in one device.
- Avery Big Tab Write & Erase Dividers — binder-based planners, students and anyone organizing a course or project.
Verdict
Cheap and, with a system, one of the most powerful learning tools on this list.
