Fonts 4 Dyslexia, published by Downhill Publishing, has given dyslexics a set of new tools in their battle with something so commonplace that many people take it for granted: the simple act of reading.
Dyslexia is an often-misunderstood disease, particularly in childhood, with many dyslexics accused of laziness and worse, stupidity, as actor Channing Tatum, star of Magic Mike found out at high school.
“You get lumped in classes with kids with autism and Down syndrome…. I believe the system is broken,” said Tatum to People magazine. “If we can streamline a multibillion dollar company, we should be able to help kids who struggle the way I did.”
These damaging attitudes and accusations simply aren’t true; Kids Health reports that several of the world’s most intelligent and creative people have had dyslexia, including Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci and Walt Disney.
Common indicators that a child might be suffering from dyslexia include: poor reading skills, issues remembering the correct names for things, problems memorizing numbers and learning foreign languages and even difficulty with direction – despite an average or above-average intelligence.
In recent years, thanks to advances in medicine as well as technological and social changes, dyslexics have started to gain better help when it comes to reading and writing.
One such advance comes from Fonts 4 Dyslexics, which is currently leading the pack in designing and presenting revolutionary, easy-to-read fonts to dyslexics, helping them to read better.
The fonts include sans serif, larger character sizes, increased spacing around the letters and between words and a wider baseline, making reading and writing an easier task for dyslexic children.
Fonts 4 Dyslexia currently provides three categories of fonts which have been designed especially to help children with dyslexia overcome their impairment:
EZ Read: a pack of two fonts to help reading comprehension while reducing stressEZ Write: a pack of ten fonts to train children to improve their handwriting skillsEZBrain Games: a pack of five fonts that can be used to create games, which in turn trains the dyslexic mind to correct reading and writing problems in a fun way
The three categories can be purchased separately or together in a bundle, and can be used by teachers and parents alike. The fonts can be quickly and easily installed and displayed on a computer screen, enabling dyslexic children to advance better in their school work.
