So I have ‘just started reading’. After a lifetime of being dyslexic and thinking I disliked books, I’ve realised that if I find something in my wheel house and with a little perseverance of getting over the inital hump, I’m really enjoying it. However a few months after reading a book, I’ve kind of forgotten the finer points and details I enjoyed. Does anyone write up books they’ve read and what tips have you got/do you have any templates?

    Have you heard of the OpenDyslexic font? I’m always surprised how many people haven’t. I’ve known a couple people that it helped quite a lot. Of course, it won’t help if you’re reading print books

      I had the plugin on my browser but found I wasn’t reading big chunks of text on there and it felt clunky. That was like 10 years ago though. I might try again and maybe get an eReader to see if that helps. Thanks!

      Was going to ask about this. There’s some good dyslexic-friendly fonts now, and if you get set up on an e-reader that might be a great way to make it easier to digest.
