Dyslexia-Friendly Fonts
Text that’s easier to read.
Comment enseignez-vous ?
For students with dyslexia, standard fonts make letters swim and reading the board becomes the lesson. Dyslexia-friendly fonts such as OpenDyslexic, chosen from the font menu, make letters easier to tell apart.
Your student with dyslexia spends half the lesson decoding the board. Switch to a dyslexia-friendly font, and they can focus on the content.
In a class of 25, some students struggle with standard fonts and won’t say so. Choose a dyslexia-friendly font for the board, and reading stops being the barrier.
Adults with dyslexia often hide how hard dense text is to read. Use a dyslexia-friendly font for training material on the board, so everyone reads it comfortably.
Accommodations should be part of the lesson, not an afterthought. Choose a dyslexia-friendly font for text on the board, for the student who needs it and everyone else.
Some participants find dense text on the big screen hard to read. A dyslexia-friendly font makes letters easier to tell apart for everyone in the room.
If your child has dyslexia, choose a dyslexia-friendly font for their board, so letters stop swapping places and reading gets easier.

The problem
Reading the board shouldn’t be the hard part
Many students with dyslexia find standard fonts hard to read. Letters look alike and seem to move, so decoding the board takes energy meant for learning.
La méthode habituelle
Teachers print materials in special fonts, read text aloud or rely on separate accommodation tools outside the lesson.
How Pencil Spaces solves it
Dyslexia-friendly fonts such as OpenDyslexic, chosen from the font menu on the board.
Quels sont les changements ?
Students focus on the lesson, not on decoding the page.

You switch your student’s board text to OpenDyslexic. She reads the word problem herself instead of waiting for you to read it.
In a group class
You set the reading passage in a dyslexia-friendly font. Two students who usually fall behind finish with the class.
In a virtual training
You set the scenario text in a dyslexia-friendly font. A participant who usually asks for printouts reads it on screen.
In your classroom
You set the board text in OpenDyslexic for a student’s accommodation. The rest of the class reads it just as easily.
In the training room
You use a dyslexia-friendly font for the case study on the big screen, and nobody needs a printout.
At home
Your son’s spelling list appears in OpenDyslexic. He reads it aloud without mixing up b and d.
