Simple Words Books
Traditional children’s books in the market are low-interest/low-level, ex: Hop on Pop, or high-context/low-level, ex: Frog and Toad. Young dyslexics often have limited reading vocabulary but high intellectual capacity. Therefore, they enjoy high-level context, but might have only low-level reading skills.
We believe the right book gives dyslexic child the opportunity to experience a love of reading and enjoy a chapter book, without tears. -
