To celebrate Dyslexia Awareness Week, The Guardian published The Box, by poet Sally Gardner, who struggles with reading herself. It’s a great description of the frustration of being stuck without the tools that our society expects.

Every day, we strive to spread the joy and knowledge of our Trainertext, that is tailored to all learning preferences, so that every child and adult may one day be able to read. In the words of Sally Gardner, “The time has come to think outside the box”.
