[CASL-L] Help for student reading Maus

[Dawn Zillich]

Barbara,

Did you see the news that there is a new font for people with dyslexia?
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/new-font-helps-dyslexics-read/

Have you tried this to see if it improves the students reading?

Here are a list of books using the new dyslexie font:

Best wishes,

St. Paul Catholic High School
"The old idea of the librarian as a sort of recluse closeted with his
books and
interested only in them is the very antithesis of the modern librarian,
who
must live with people equally with books, and who must also be keenly
aware
of all that is going on in the world around him."

~Linda A. Eastman~ (Head Librarian of the Cleveland Public Library, 1918
to 1938)

If there's not an audio, maybe pair this student up with another kid (or
adult) who'd read the text aloud?

 I just received this email from an
 English teacher.  Normally I would find an audio- in  this case, it won;t
help.  Any ideas?  TIA - Barb  Lyons

 "I have a student who has issues with reading -- her problem  is almost
like dyslexia but she actually sees letters upside  down.  Though she is
able to read most texts, she is  really struggling with Maus (not
surprising).  I've  looked online to see if there is a larger print
version of  Maus I and II but didn't have any luck.  Do you have  any
thoughts about how I can help her? "
