E-readers benefit some dyslexics

Many of us enjoy the benefits of having a virtual library on the go with an e-reader, and now, researchers have found that dyslexic readers are able to read more easily, quickly and with better understanding by reading short lines on e-reader devices.

    your child.

In assessing many students with reading difficulties at Graded, I have found that e-readers, which allow you to change the text size, spacing, and contrast between the background and the text, enables some students to read more fluently. In addition, the text can be highlighted sentence by sentence which helps students with visual tracking and visual attention difficulties.
