Electronic devices could help people with dyslexia
Short lines of text on electronic devices may help some dyslexic readers increase their reading speed and comprehension, research suggests. US scientists studied 100 pupils reading on paper and e-readers. On the device, those who struggled most with sight-word reading read faster and those with limited visual attention spans had better comprehension. The ability to display text in short lines with fewer words helped pupils focus on each word, they told Plos One.
