Miss Lovelace's unexplained code (dyslexia-friendly edition) (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

New research has demonstrated that a simple text manipulation can reduce the phenomenon known as migration (letters or words seeming to move) and lead to improved comprehension when reading narrative text for students with delayed-visual-disengagement dyslexia. When students read aloud from this adjusted text, compared to normal text, they made fewer mispronunciations, fewer omissions, fewer substitutions and fewer migrations and thus scored higher on standardised tests of comprehension. Crossbridge Books is the first publisher to publish books using this adjusted text.

Miss Lovelace's unexplained code (dyslexia-friendly edition) is the first title to be published in this format. The content is suitable for children aged 7-11 and particular appealing to boys who are often those who struggle to learn to read with conventional text. The story tells about Miss Lovelace who discovers that her computer code has strange powers. She uses the amazing code to save the children at the school where she works from the evil head teacher. Comments from a primary teacher with thirty years of service "I think the books are brilliant! Inspired! Miss Lovelace is original and very appealing to children. It reminded me of Roald Dahl's 'The Magic Finger'. The language is rich yet the structure and content is simple enough to make it very accessible for most children. The author seems to have written it just for pure enjoyment."
