Dyslexia Friendly Collection
Dyslexia is a term used to describe a range of persistent difficulties with aspects of reading, writing, and spelling. Around 10% of the population has dyslexia, and common symptoms are that words and letters appear to “move around on the page” or blur and blend into each other.
As part of our commitment to encouraging literacy and recreational reading, Waimakariri Libraries offer a range of books with dyslexia friendly font to help those who have (or support someone with) dyslexia.
