For Parents

This section is for the grown-up. It is about reading, dyslexia, and picking books for a child who finds reading hard.

No cures, no reading levels, no promises about what a book will fix. Just what the evidence actually supports, and what it does not.

Written by Yechiel Kuperman, who has spent forty-nine years with fish and rather less time pretending to be a reading specialist.

Guides for parents

Nothing here yet. The first guides are written but not published, and they go up one at a time rather than all at once.

In the meantime, the two pages below cover most of what parents ask us first.

Start here

How these books are designed for kids who find reading hard — the font, the line spacing, the paragraph length, and why each one was chosen.

What the research on dyslexia-friendly design actually says — including the parts that do not support the label, which most publishers leave out.

Teaching rather than parenting? The educator hub has the lesson plans, the printables and the classroom tank.
