Reading support

Learning designed for dyslexic pupils

The platform automatically adapts for dyslexic pupils with specialist fonts, adjustable text, colour overlays and read-aloud for all content.

Evidence-based

Based on research

All our dyslexia tools are based on scientific research and recommendations.

OpenDyslexic font

British Dyslexia Association recommendation

Fonts with clearly differentiated letters and weighted bottoms are recommended for dyslexic readers.

Increased line spacing

Rello & Baeza-Yates (2013)

Research shows that increased line spacing improves reading speed and accuracy for dyslexic readers.

Coloured overlays

Irlen method

Coloured overlays can reduce visual stress and improve reading comfort for many dyslexic readers.

Text-to-Speech

International Dyslexia Association

Read-aloud gives dyslexic pupils access to text without dependence on decoding.

Features

Everything you need

A complete set of tools that makes learning accessible for dyslexic pupils.

OpenDyslexic font

A specially designed font with weighted bottoms on letters that prevents them from 'rotating' during reading.

Adjustable line spacing

Choose between normal, relaxed (1.8×) or loose (2.2×) line spacing to reduce line-hopping.

Colour overlays

6 different background colours (cream, yellow, blue, green, pink) that reduce visual stress.

Reading guide

A horizontal line that follows the cursor, making it easier to keep focus on the right line.

Text-to-speech (TTS)

All content can be read aloud with a natural voice so the pupil can listen instead of reading.

Letter spacing

Increased spacing between letters and words reduces confusion and makes text easier to read.

Try it yourself

See the difference

Try the different settings and see how they affect readability.

This text shows how the different settings affect readability. Try switching between fonts, line spacing and background colours to see what works best for you. Many dyslexic readers find that these adjustments make it significantly easier to read longer texts without getting tired.
