Good News Bible (GNB) Dyslexia-Friendly Judges and Ruth

The Bible is a large book and creating a dyslexia-friendly version of the entire Bible would result in a volume that is too large to be easily handled and read comfortably. We’ve chosen to offer individual books or collections of books to ensure that the text remains clear and easy to navigate.

Producing dyslexia-friendly books requires additional steps in design, formatting and printing which increases the overall cost. We’ve used high quality paper and custom fonts to optimise readability and maintain high quality.

Yes you can! They can be read by anyone who would benefit from larger fonts, clearer layouts and smaller editions. They may be helpful for people with low levels of literacy, vision impairments or for those who prefer a more spacious layout. 

The GNB is known for its simple, straightforward language, making it accessible to a broad audience, including those who may find traditional translations more challenging. Its clarity and readability align well with the principles of creating a dyslexia-friendly Bible. 

Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty which primarily affects reading and writing skills. Dyslexic people may also have difficulty processing and remembering information they see and hear. Dyslexia can also impact on other areas such as organisation skills. 

It’s important to remember that there are positives to thinking differently. Many dyslexic people show strengths in areas such as reasoning and in visual and creative fields. 

These dyslexia-friendly books follow the guidelines of the British Dyslexia Association for dyslexia-friendly formatting. They feature short paragraphs, increased line spacing, a larger type face and bold headings. They are printed on cream coloured paper to minimise reflection and reduce show-through from the next page.
