Brief Explanation

While those with Dyslexia can struggle to read even simple words, they find it easier once they’ve learned methods driven by visual, tactile and spatial stimulation. We increased dyslexia awareness as well as awareness of these teaching methods by designing posters that feature broken words that could only be decoded by folding the poster into a precise origami form. These posters and folding instructions were freely available online and could be downloaded, shared and printed by anyone.
