Implementation

Offer personalized reading formats

Tech, edTech and publishing companies, and website and app owners can leverage research insights to create reader-centric platforms by adding Readability Features allowing readers to personalize their text formats and read more effectively.

Educators can encourage students to take advantage of text personalization features when they are available. Additionally, they can be mindful of text format readability (see UDL Guidelines, consideration 1.1) and offer materials in formats that support each student in their learning.

Investors can support tool development. Reading format assessment and content delivery tool updates are needed to simplify implementation.

Research

Uncover better readability insights

Researchers can contribute to the growing body of interdisciplinary research. Experts will investigate the importance of specific text format features or develop and refine new methodologies for the assessment of an individual’s best reading format.

Investors can support groundbreaking studies, helping uncover new ways to empower readers across all age groups.

Advocacy

Join the movement

Thought leaders will drive the use of personalized reading to the mainstream, supporting initiatives that bring personalized text formats to schools and workplaces. Policies, systems, and thinking must change.  

Policymakers will redefine the one-size-fits-all approach to reading material and champion a mandate for literacy improvements, better supporting individual reading needs through personalized text formats.

Investors will fund educational and awareness campaigns to ensure these technically simple changes are implmented to realize substantial gains in reading performance.
