Helping Dyslexic Children Unscramble the Written Word
· Many parents don't notice until it's too late to be pro-active.
· Most children will not even realize that they have the condition until they are already deeply struggling and failing.
· Thousands of adults are affected by the condition.
Dyslexia...
Imagine looking at a the written word and seeing this -
TEH WNODREFLU WZRIAD OF OZ
instead of -
THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ...
and not being able to distinguish what is different.
I'm Richard Devin, the Founder of Invoke Books, a publishing company... and I'm Dyslexic. I've suffered through the difficulties and embarrassment of attempting to read, spell and solve math problems all my life... due to dyslexia. I was even held back not once... but twice in grammar school as there was no diagnosis for dyslexia at the time. I just couldn't keep up with the curriculum, which to me was often a jumble of words and numbers.
The impact that dyslexia has is different for each person suffering from the condition. The core difficulty early on, and especially effecting children - is with reading words - but the most challenging problems occur as a young adult when more complex language skills are required, such as grammar, understanding textbook material, writing, spelling and solving math questions.
I Want To Help...
I want to help children get a head start to overcoming the problems that dyslexia causes... and I'm hoping that you will too?
How Can You Help? - Donate to our GoFundMe campaign:
Every dollar counts. No Donation is too Small.
Invoke Books, has dedicated an imprint (Invoke Books Dyslexic Friendly) of books, from the public domain, that will be published, and distributed with no charge to the reader*, in both digital and print formats using an exciting new font called "OpenDyslexic**."
Our goal is to provide Dyslexic Friendly books to children and young adults, to encourage and engage them early on to read, all the while empowering them to understand the obstacles associated with being dyslexic.
The books will be Free - but there is still a big cost to edit, create covers, publish and print... that’s where you can help.
I remember - while in grade school - struggling to read off of the chalk board and fighting back the tears that threaten to flow when the words written in white chalk turned into a jumble of incomprehensible letters. I can only imagine the difference it would have made had I been able to reinforce my reading skills early on with OpenDyslexic.
OpenDyslexic was created to help with the symptoms of dyslexia. See the letters in the Dyslexic Friendly logo.
The letters of the font have heavy weighted bottoms to indicate direction to aid in quickly figure out which part of the letter is down - that aids in recognizing the correct letter and helps to train and keep the brain from rotating and jumbling letters. Consistently weighted bottoms also help reinforce the line of text and the unique shape of each letter helps prevent the confusion of flipping and swapping.
Early Reading Is Fundamental.
Give to our campaign and we’ll give back.
Not only will children, young adults and adults have the ability to obtain books from Invoke Books Dyslexic Friendly publications printed with the Open Dyslexic font, you too will have the satisfaction of helping others and some great gifts:
1. Everyone who donates - both big and small and the in-between will have their names published in every Invoke Books Dyslexic Friendly publication with the acknowledgment of your generous donation and kind heart.
2. $50 toward our campaign and we’ll send you some great swag.
$100 and you’ll receive a signed copy of New York Times Bestselling Author Heather Graham’s Christmas Treasures - Invoke Books Dyslexic Friendly Edition.
$500 or more and we’ll include all above and your name on the front cover of Invoke Books Dyslexic Friendly publications as “made possible by the kind donation of...”
And a few extras:
Should you prefer to remain anonymous... we can do that too!
The sky's the limit on donations don’t let the dollar amounts above stop you. This on-going campaign will fund the future for many children and young adults with reading disabilities.
Together - we can Unscramble the Written Word.
