What is Dyslexia?
The link below will take you to a leaflet produced by Dyslexia Scotland.
Struggling with Reading?
Text to speech software is becoming increasingly available and, therefore, any publication which is available in an electronic format is available for those who struggle with reading. Natural Reader is free to download.
Claroread also has a range of software to aid with reading and writing but please note that their products are not free.
Audible is a site where audio books are for sale. The books are read by actors and they have is a very good range.
Struggling with Writing?
Mindmapping is a good format in which to gather reseached information, and involves less writing. Also, before writing anything substantial (an essay for example) it is worth planning first. Xmind provide software to make electronic mindmaps, although creating a mindmap on paper can work too.
Text to speech software (mentioned above) can be used to help with the proofreading process.
