Reading issues black on white paper
Posted: Thu Apr 23, 2020 8:41 pm
Looking for the collective wisdom of the forum.
My DD is motoring along well at school but has always disliked reading. She reads in a single monotone out loud and doesn’t seem to take and enjoyment from a book.
However since lockdown I have dug out their old kindle fires and we have uploaded some books. She swapped the background to balcony with white writing and suddenly her fluency and enjoyment has increased.
I’m sure I remember speaking to a patient whose mum was explaining both her girls had been diagnosed with something similar and had glasses which made reading black on white much easier but I can’t remember either the patient or the clinician and I recall she travelled for a diagnosis.
Has anyone heard of anything similar as obviously most books are black on white paper.
Thank you advance
