"Stroop concordant" coloring of letters for remediation of dyslexia.

ABSTRACT

In the modern society of the printed word dyslexia can be distressing and disabling. Commonly dyslexia manifests as a difficulty reading often caused by confusion or reversal of certain letters such as 'b' and 'd', and 'p' and 'q' and 'g'. Here we suggest that one method of remediation or amelioration is to print letters in color such as a 'b' in blue print, an 'r' in red, 'g' in green and 'p' in pink. Such coloring of letters takes advantage of the well-known association of vision of the color with the color's name--and therefore enunciation of the color's first letter.
