New research has demonstrated that a simple text manipulation can reduce the phenomenon known as migration (letters or words seeming to move) and lead to improved comprehension when reading narrative text for readers with delayed-visual-disengagement dyslexia. When reading aloud from this adjusted text, compared to normal text, research participants made fewer mispronunciations, fewer omissions, fewer substitutions, and fewer migrations and thus scored higher on standardised tests of comprehension. Crossbridge Books is the first publisher to publish books using this adjusted text.
Wolves of Russia Part One: Changing Landscapes (dyslexia-friendly edition) is published in this format. The content is not considered suitable for readers below the age of fourteen.
