The following is examples how dyslexics view words,
sentences and pages of text.
Note: These are examples
only, to allow a non-dyslexic person the understanding, of what a person with dyslexic
may see. Each and every person is different and this should not be used as a tool to
determine if a person is dyslexic.

| What they don't See.... The
first example of text shown here has all of the words shown clearly.
The second section of text is identical to the first section, however certain words are
etched back so they are not clearly visible.
As dyslexics are generally picture thinkers, they only see words that they can place a
picture to.
Read the first section of text. Read the second section of text, but only read the
words that are clearly visible. Delete the words that are not. Now you are reading like a
Dyslexic. You are reading the pictures. |
Link awoke one day to find himself deep in a strange forest. As he started
to walk through the woods, he heard cries for help coming from just up ahead of him. Link
hurried toward the voice, only to find a group of monsters surrounding the woman who was
screaming. When the monsters saw Link, they immediately fled. Link awoke

| A river of words.... In
this example of text, the first section is clearly visible and can be easily read.
The second section of text is identical to the first section, however all of the words
are etched back and lines have been placed in between the words creating a river effect.
Dyslexics are prone to see the finer detail and in this example, they are drawn to the
spaces between the words rather than the words themselves. If they were to look at each
word individually, they can read, however the distraction of the rivers hinders their
reading ability.
Are you aving trouble trying to concerntrate on the second section of text? Are the
lines causing you problems? |
