About This Cause
Watch our 1-min Overview Video: https://bit.ly/ReadabilityMatters-One-Min-Video. ---- It’s all about the Reader. “Readability” encapsulates those properties of a document that determine the ease and success with which individual readers decipher, process, and make meaning of the text read. While this may involve aspects of the document’s content, structure, or layout more generally, our focus is on the text’s typographical features, including font choice, size, spacing, and related attributes. Reading material delivered in a one-format-fits-all model has been the norm for centuries on paper and decades electronically. Reading is fundamentally changing as more moves from printed (and therefore fixed) text to digital text. Personalization is now possible. Strong readers and struggling readers, adults and children, all have the potential to experience improved reading outcomes using a technology-enabled model of reading with personalized text formats. We must shift the focus from what is best for the population to focusing on what is best for the individual. To achieve a vision of improved Readability for All, an ecosystem of partners–tech, publishers, academia, nonprofits, educators, and policymakers–must work together to implement ubiquitous solutions. ---- Readability Matters, a tech-for-good nonprofit, works with an ever-growing community of scientists and engineers to reinvent reading. We drive change by convening players in the reading ecosystem to implement technology across platforms for every community. Technology Partners include Adobe and Google. University research partners include the University of Central Florida, the University of Oregon, the University of Arizona, and many more. Our nonprofit partners include ReadWorks and The EdTech Center at World Education.
