What is dyslexia?

Reading is complex. It requires our brains to connect letters to sounds, put those sounds in the right order, and pull the words together into sentences and paragraphs we can read and comprehend.

People with dyslexia have trouble matching the letters they see on the page with the sounds those letters and combinations of letters make. And when they have trouble with that step, all the other steps are harder.

While people with dyslexia are slow readers, they often, paradoxically, are very fast and creative thinkers with strong reasoning abilities. -Yale Center for Dyslexia and Creativity

"Multisensory learning involves the use of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic-tactile pathways simultaneously to enhance memory and learning of written language."

Learning Disability Association of Utah

"Many students with dyslexia benefit from tactile activities so they can rely on more than just words on a page while learning to read."

DexiBlocks is a learning material designed for students with dyslexia. The tool is to help people with dyslexia learn how to read and write by interacting with letters in 3D, the same way letters are interpreted in their brains. Dyslexia affects 20% of the population and 80% of students who do not learn how to read drop out of school.

Dexiblocks is intended for educators to be able to aid students who have a difficult time learning to read. DexiBlocks is a hands-on tool that allows students with dyslexia to learn to read while enjoying the fun of building blocks. The blocks are made out of wood and connect through tactile magnets. They come together to form letters and in turn words.
