Can People With Dyslexia Read With Easy on iPhones?

Here is interesting information from Freakonomis.com concerning people with dyslexia reading on the iPhone":

Dyslexics face a number of reading challenges, but everyone’s favorite Apple gadget offers some surprising solutions. Howard Hill, a longtime dyslexic, recently read The Count of Monte Cristo on his iPhone, and was surprised by how easy it was. The spacing has something to do with it. “Many dyslexics have problems with ‘crowding,’ where they’re distracted by the words surrounding the word they’re trying to read,” John Stein, professor of neuroscience at Oxford University, told Hill. “When reading text on a small phone, you’re reducing the crowding effect.”

More on Dyslexia

I have a keen interest in research on dyslexia because I have a form it. In any case, I found new information concerning dyslexia research at the Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience at Children's Hospital Boston. What's different with this research compared to other research on dyslexia is that this research posits that sound training can help rewire the brains of children with dyslexia. The research group used MRI imagining, which detected that the brains of children with dyslexia have a problem processing fast-changing sounds. Researchers believe that young children with dyslexia are prime candidates to receive hours of training in daily increments that would help to rewire their brains prior to the children learning to read. I discovered an article about this research at Science Daily.com. Here is a link to the article for additional information:
