Dyslexit PublishingTheir mission is to help dyslexic children become joyful readers who will gain the skills and confidence needed to enter the world of self-reliant reading. The company does this by having developed a combination of font, colors, background and print which allows dyslexic children to easily read the books they publish.
"We use a dyslexic font where letters have different colors, which helps children to subconsciously remember and connect the letters, resulting in improved fluency. Letters won’t dance around anymore since attention will be kept on one letter at the time. Text is separated from illustrations on independent pages, which keeps your child’s focus on the text and prevents the loss of concentration that occurs when text is inside an illustration. Since text inside an illustration creates an unwanted distraction, this also facilitates reading in children with ADHD and autism. Visual perception is facilitated with a low contrast between text and background, which improves your child’s readability. The carefully selected low-contrast background behind our letters will also create a huge reading improvement for children with Irlen Syndrome.
Since illustrations are separate, there is enough space for larger more readable text, so there is no need for tools like colored overlays, rulers, or dyslexia glasses. As a result of numerous testings, the printing colors we use and the paper itself is specifically chosen so that light reflection is minimized. Your child will experience overall improved reading comprehension. Dyslexit provides a reading solution, where there is no need for decodable chapter division. Your child can practice long sentences without waging an irritating battle with letters."
