Android Apps for Dyslexia / Struggling Readers


Knowing that we have thousands of people living/visiting Andalucia who struggle daily with dyslexia I jumped at the opportunity to share this wonderful link that was sent to me today via a Newsletter from Richard Whitehead of the Davis Learning Foundation UK http://www.davislearningfoundation.org.uk/ 

 
They are categorized Android apps for struggling readers challenged with one or more types of dyslexia.  I believe you´ll be pleasantly surprised with the Apps and the majority are free.

 
If you live in the UK do have a look at the Davis Learning Foundation, you can sign up for a free Newsletter at http://www.davislearningfoundation.org.uk/newsletter_signup.html

and also find them on Facebook
