📖Dyslexic Littles📖

As someone dyslexic and having difficulties reading through sleepy stories to get into the right mood i ended up developing certain mechanisms to cope and would like to share them!

PS: You can read this if you don’t have a caregiver too. <3

✰ If you can, pay an audio book app! You can also get it for free.

✰ Ask for a friend/your caregiver record an audio for you (or read it by your side if you are an open little).

✰ If you can read or understand better  with  extra  space   bars  like  that  ask  for  a  friend  rewrite   a  short  story  for  you   in  this  style.

✰ Do you like bananas? You can draw some or set your background to banana color! It can help you read better!

✰ Following this thought change your phone font! There are a few tutorials out there teaching you how and plenty of fonts dyslexic-friendly or ask someone else if you are too little to understand!

✰ IMPORTANT!! Do not put yourself down! Being neurotypical does NOT mean you are dumb or stupid! You are amazing and doing your best! I am proud of you !

✰ Ask for your plushies to tell you a story while cuddling. I`m sure it`ll work very well!

✰ Count/draw with your fingers in the air if you need! You are valid!

✰ Absolutely no eeny inyy way force yourself to read for some reason!

✰ Your handwriting is messy and the letters are moving around? they are excited and throwing a party! go with them, you deserve a rest!

✰ Your favourite characters are so happy for you trying your best. They love you so much.

✰ Have the freedom to create your own comfortable space and coping mechanisms, you are valid and you have my support.

✰ If anything, come here and talk to me. I understand you. :)

I’ll do a part 2 soon.

Hey so my boss's 11 year old son has ADHD and possibly dyslexia. I know ive seen posts about fonts that are good for dyslexia and also an extension that makes a block of text change along a color gradient, like the words go from red to blue and back again to help draw your eye along the page, but I cant find the post. A little help please ? I really want to help them find some resources!

Dyslexia's Unlikely Treatment: E-Readers

E-readers and tablets are a new and exciting peice of tech that can carry all of your books and social apps in one neat and light package. For those with Dyslexia, these little pocket computers come with an added bonus.

A new study has discovered that "users can manipulate text on e-readers—which is surprisingly useful as a way to make the task of reading easier for people with dyslexia." This discovery maybe the answer to improving student's overall reading comprehension and speed when studying and covering class material. See, not all technology is mind numbing!
