Yes We Can Read is printed on cream paper which is generally recognised to be beneficial
for people with dyslexia.The text is well-spaced and in an easy to read font.
Photo-Alphabet
The pictures for learning letter-sounds correspond to the shapes of
the letters they represent, removing a big hurdle for the learner - for example a
pan for ‘p’, a tree for ‘t’. Photographs are used, rather than drawings, because
many people with dyslexia see letters as 3-dimensional objects. Click here to find

Coloured Overlays
We are offering a FREE Eye Level Reading Ruler with every copy of
Yes We Can Read purchased online from Gatehouse Books (while stocks last), designed
to aid learners with dyslexia, ADD and ADHD, scotopic sensitivity and other special
needs.
The Eye Level Reading Ruler is a coloured overlay text highlighter that will fit
easily into a pocket or pencil case, or can be kept in the pages of your book as
a bookmark. Discreet and not childish-looking, the reading ruler is made of a combination
of opaque and transparent plastic that both underlines the text and highlights it
in a coloured tint. Our selection of aqua as a colour reflects the most common choice,
but other colours of ruler are available from Crossbow Education. There is no complicated
testing procedure: your learner will know quickly whether a colour "works".
