Christian publisher Lifeway is launching a Bible to help children and adults with dyslexia access the word of God.
The Grace Bible features a special font, entitled ‘Grace’, which has been developed with the University of Cambridge and typographic company 2K/DENMARK. It emphasises differences between the letters ‘m’ and ‘n’, and ‘p’ and ‘q’.
Dyslexia is a learning disability, which primarily impacts reading and writing. It is estimated that 1 in 5 people experience it.
Ben Mandrell, president of Lifeway said: “Kids who feel intimidated by reading can feel comfortable with this new typeface in a Bible that’s made specifically with them in mind.
“Dyslexia shouldn’t keep kids from reading the Bible. At its core, the Grace Bible for Kids is meeting the need of helping young readers interact and connect with God in a personal way through His Word.”
An adult version will also be published, with the same readability features.
A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
