Download or read book Jurassic Adventure written by Melissa Evans and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-13 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At Dyslexit, we use a modern approach to design books for kids who struggle with dyslexia ✓ Uniquely designed colored font → Fluency ✓ d104/illustration separation → Focus ✓ Low-contrast text/background → Perception 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. d104 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. Your child will experience overall improved reading comprehension and will be able to practice long, difficult dinosaur names. 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. Jurassic Adventure is a short story about an important, yet dangerous journey of a group of dinosaurs with some emotional scenes about friendship. It is an educational story that teaches children that they can always find friends, no matter what. Our mission is to help your child become a joyful reader, who will gain the skills and confidence needed to enter the world of self-reliant reading. Letters, words, and sentences will finally become a story!
