‘I don't know who came up with the idea [of] the dyslexic Bible, but it has made such a difference to my life this year by having it. Whoever had the bright idea and whoever said, “Yes, we should make that bright idea happen”, I owe them because it has made such a difference.’
We are happy to present the complete dyslexia-friendly collection in a beautiful display case.
Bible Society became the first UK publisher to publish the whole Bible in a dyslexia-friendly format in March 2024, following the formatting guidelines of the British Dyslexia Association.
Our dyslexia-friendly books of the Bible:
- Have single-column copy with increased type size and spacing between lines.
- Use thicker paper with high opacity so no text bleeds through
- Have wider margins so the text doesn’t disappear into the spine
- Feature line drawings by Annie Vallotton to help break up the text
- Follow formatting guidelines set by the British Dyslexia Association
- Break the Bible down into smaller, more manageable collections of books
- Have been developed with user experience in mind
Dyslexia-friendly Bible FAQs
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, visual 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.
