“…Font types and sizes have also been investigated. Rello and Baeza-Yates (2013) concluded that font types affect reading performance, and that italics should be avoided. It has also been suggested that dyslexics prefer font types without serifs (Evett and Brown, 2005).…”

Abstract. In this work-in-progress we present a computer-based method to design German reinforcement exercises for children with dyslexia. From different schools, we collected more than 1,000 errors written by children with dyslexia. Then, we created a classification of dyslexic errors in German and annotated the errors with different language specific features, such as phonetic and visual features. For the creation of the exercises we took into account the linguistic knowledge extracted from the analyses and designed more than 2,500 word exercises in German that have been integrated in a game available for iOS. The game and the resource of dyslexic errors are available online 1 and they are, to the best of our knowledge, the first contributions of this kind for German.

“…To support the readability for parents and supervisors we used a large font size (minimum 18 points) [26]. The interactive elements (cards to be clicked within the game) are large enough to be clicked easily.…”

Detecting dyslexia is important because early intervention is key to avoid the negative effects of dyslexia such as school failure. Most of the current approaches to detect dyslexia require expensive personnel (i.e. psychologists) or special hardware (i.e. eye trackers or MRI machines). Also, most of the methods can only be used when children are learning how to read but not before, necessarily delaying needed early intervention. In this work, we present a study with 178 participants speaking different languages (Spanish, German, English, and Catalan) with and without dyslexia using a web-based game built with musical and visual elements that are language independent. The study reveals eighth game measures with significant differences for Spanish children with and without dyslexia, which could be used in future work as a basis for language independent detection. A webbased application like this could have a major impact on children all over the world by easily screening them and suggest the help they need.
