This is probably what you are referring to:
Irlen Syndrome/Scotopic Sensitivity
http://www.irlen.com/index_sss.html

I don't know how well it is thought of within the reading discipline.

You know, this reminds me of a workshop we had in the school where I
work,
and the woman was teaching us about working with kids with various
learning
disabilities. She maintained that if you laid a colored acetate sheet
over
the page you're reading your brain will hold onto the information
better.
Blue, yellow, pink. I've never run across the acetates anywhere.  I
should
make a real effort in office supply stores.  Different colors work
better for
different people, but she said you experiment and find the color that
suits
you.
In this bookmark, you'd have not only the different color, but you'd
have the
specific sentence outlined.  It sounds really neat.  Liz in Buffalo
