Description from store EasyRead is enabled by default. Click the icon to disable or re-enable on a per website basis. Our research shows that Grade 2-6 low-progress readers read 7% faster (words per minute) in Dyslexie font word-spacing and letter-spacing settings than in standardly spaced Arial font (Marinus et al., in press). More research is needed to examine how these spacing settings influence reading performance of adolescents and adults with reading impairments. Reference: Marinus, E., Mostard, M., Segers, E., Schubert, T., Madelaine, A., & Wheldall, K. (In Press). A special font for people with dyslexia: Does it work and if so, why? Dyslexia.

  • (2021-04-26) Ivy Mazzola: First extension I've rated, I think. Easy, just works on all sites so far. No fiddling. Everything is easier to read, especially given my oversized "monitor"--I'm using a 40" TV right now. Despite fiddling with the settings, website text has been quite fuzzy on it. Tried downloading the extensions which make text bolder, but they actually made the reading experience worse, if anything. But this extension is perfect for my needs
  • (2020-04-13) Raiken: It does as it says, ease on the eyes. Rating it 5 but is it possible to add a feature which can enable easyread on certain websites by default? That would be even better. Thanks.

  • (2019-12-07, v:0.1.3) anna derry: cursor problem
    there is a problem with cursor drift. changing spacing of font means that cursor image no longer lines up with where cursor position - ie write and delete in different place from curson image. means I can't really use EasyRead. Pity because does make text easier to read. Is there a solution (other than removing Easyread extension)? Thanks
  • (2019-09-03, v:0.1.3) You Are Me: Not sure if working
    Hi, I am trying to use the extension but can't seem to see any change - is there something I am supposed to be doing or do I just click the extension and all text is supposed to change?
  • (2017-10-31, v:0.1.3) Kimberly Ferrier: Google Docs
    Hello, My students find your extension extremely helpful. But when they use it in Google Docs, the writing goes off the page. Is there a work-around for this? Thank you- Kim Ferrier [email protected]
