New Book Font Created Especially for Readers with Dyslexia

Have you heard of the new font, also known as a typeface, that was created for people with dyslexia to be able to read it more easily than typical fonts like Times New Roman? The new font style works well for readers with dyslexia because it has a heavier bottom, which help the reader not to flip or swap letters around in their heads, which can be a big problem for people with dyslexia. Another great thing about this font is that's totally readable by people without dyslexia, too.

The reason why we're letting you know about this font is because we just got a new book, Bookmarks are People, Too! by: Henry Winkler, that is printed in his font. It's the first book in his new Here's Hank series.

In case any of you old-school television fans out there are wondering, yes, the author is the same Henry Winkler who played "The Fonz" on the classic show Happy Days! Helping readers with dyslexia is important to Mr. Winkler because he has dyslexia himself.
