People with dyslexia read by recognizing patterns in words. They spot familiar letter combinations rather than reading each letter. This helps them read faster and understand better.

Long, complex words slow down reading and make text harder to understand. Technical jargon creates extra barriers because unfamiliar word patterns take longer to process. Simple, everyday words help readers focus on the meaning instead of decoding complex terms.

Additionally, adding icons and visuals next to key terms helps build visual memory and speeds up reading. This combination of simple text and supporting visuals makes content more accessible for everyone.
