As a frame of reference, the act of reading is a human invention that’s only a few thousand years old. In Europe and the United States, mass literacy—meaning more than 50 percent of the population knows how to read—has only been around for about 150 years. In other areas of the world, such as most of Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, it’s much more recent. Via Tom D'Amico (@TDOttawa) , Dennis Swender

Reading is the area in which students with dyslexia struggle the most. Luckily, there are mobile apps that can help with functions like text-to-speech and translation. Via Kathleen McClaskey, Pippa Davies @PippaDavies

This is the time of year to check out the apps that level the playing field for learners with dyslexia and reading challenges. If your child is struggling to read, many of these apps can remove that barrier to reading. Also remember that Speak Selection is built into the IOS of iPads, iPhones and IPods. It is an excellent text-to-speech tool that can be used when reading on the go.
Darla and Kaila Hatton tried out these list of apps. Here is what they had to say:
"Reading is the area in which students with dyslexia struggle the most. Fortunately, there are many mobile apps that can help. While we’ve reviewed all of the following ones, and they work well for my daughter who has dyslexia, we also know that “one size (or app) does not fit all.” You may need to do additional research before finding the app that provides the best “fit” for your child."

Dyslexia is not a disease, it is a different organisation of the brain.
