Dyslexia is a reading disability that causes children and adults affected by
it
have difficulty with reading comprehension and reading fluently.
In fact the condition is so prevalent that affects one in every five people.
But even more alarming is that the majority people with dyslexia will never
be diagnosed
and will likely struggle their entire
lives with reading despite having normal
intelligence.
The frustration caused by dyslexia can lead to anxiety anger and even
depression. But if diagnosed early
75 percent of dyslexia can overcome in and lead totally normal lives filled with
joy
and self-confidence. Now, this is the premise behind a beautiful children's book we came across
called Maks & Mila.
"I wanted to give children a chance to develop joy
develop kindness to focus on the positive
and to build an innner strength because I've seen for myself how
how powerful that is how powerful this will have to use qualities".
Not only does the book tells story the Fosters joy and inner strength within
children,
it also employs a special font that is
designed for children with dyslexia
making easier for them to read
and enjoy the book. When designing Maks and Mila, Merel worked with children to
determine which colors
or most engaging in powerful her research is the cornerstone
of the the book and why children find so enjoyable to read. In addition to the
book Maks and Mila similar comes in app form
for even more engagement and fun. Both the app and the book share the same goal
to bring joy and self-confidence and to the lives of children. "In the app
I basically do the same in the book I ask children to fill their
secret suitcase with happy thoughts and I also give them the opportunities
to send real kind wishes
and to do that in a safe environment so they can only send to wishes to people
that are
in the contacts list of their parents". So the app is available for free
on ios devices in the book can be purchased at Barnes & Noble
