Text-to-speech, read-along highlighting, and dyslexia-friendly typography designed around how dyslexic minds actually process text.
Updated February 2026
Dyslexia is a neurological difference that affects how the brain processes written language. It is not about intelligence. Children with dyslexia often have strong creative thinking, problem-solving, and verbal reasoning skills, but struggle with decoding text, spelling, and reading fluency.
Rise Bright is built around the science of how dyslexic readers process information. Every feature provides the multi-sensory support and assistive technology that research shows makes the biggest difference.
Every feature is informed by research on what actually works for dyslexic readers.
Every question and instruction can be read aloud with adjustable speed (0.5x to 2.0x). Word-by-word highlighting follows along so children can connect spoken and written words.
Words light up as they are read aloud. Click any word to hear its pronunciation. Syllable breaking tooltips appear on hover for longer words.
Weighted letter bottoms help prevent visual rotation of similar letters. Wide letter and word spacing reduce crowding. Line height of 1.8x improves tracking.
Choose from cream, blue, yellow, green, or pink overlays to reduce visual stress and glare. Settings are saved per child and persist across sessions.
A line guide follows the cursor to help children track which line they are reading. Reduces line skipping and improves focus on the current sentence.
1.5x time multiplier on all tasks. No visible timer to reduce anxiety. Children can take the time they need to decode and process text at their own pace.
Our dyslexia learning design is based on the latest meta-analyses and evidence-based interventions for reading difficulties.
Key research finding: Dyslexic readers benefit most from multi-sensory approaches that combine visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic input simultaneously. Rise Bright implements this through synchronised text-to-speech with visual highlighting, making reading a multi-channel experience.
Understanding the prevalence and impact of dyslexia in Australian schools helps parents make informed decisions about learning support.
Early intervention with evidence-based reading support tools can significantly improve literacy outcomes for children with dyslexia. Rise Bright's assistive technology approach addresses the core challenges dyslexic readers face in traditional educational settings.
Rise Bright is not just dyslexia-friendly. It is also fully aligned with the Australian Curriculum for Mathematics and English from Foundation to Year 6.
Every lesson maps to specific curriculum outcomes. Progress reports show exactly where your child is against curriculum standards, making it easy to communicate with teachers and track real academic progress.
All 8 states and territories are supported with their specific curriculum variations.
Many children with dyslexia also have other learning differences. Rise Bright supports multiple conditions:
