- Summary:
-
This document presents case studies and information related to the United States patent on a method of and structure for improving the reading efficiency of persons with specific dyslexia in which the reading matter is presented with a brightness substantially greater than the background of the reading material. The paper begins with a description of the background of the invention, an abstract, and a summary of the invention, in the form of a single page extracted from the patent application. The document then presents a description of the methodology employed in gathering data on three male dyslexic students (aged 8, 15.5, and 16 years) from Chicago public schools, offers some responses obtained from the students in diagnoses, and offers a set of conclusions. The paper suggests that the dyslexics' attitudes toward reading, reading vocabulary, reading rate, and fluency increased dramatically. An additional case study of a 16-year-old male and a sample of the reading material (white text on a black background are attached). (RS)
