Designing digital texts for beginner readers: performance, practice and process
This illustrated chapter describes the role of research in typography and graphic communication and in information design, that is relevant to the design and use of materials for childrenâs reading. By âdesignâ in this context we mean âtypographyâ (which is the visual organisation of type and pictures on paper or screen), and âprocessâ (the ways in which design is developed in order to make sure that what is designed works for its intended reader group). We summarise issues that designers consider when they are producing reading materials for beginning and emerging readers, including the constraints imposed by technology. We suggest ways of engaging with users of e-books so that their needs can be considered. We conclude by summarising the typographic parameters that are likely to benefit childrenâs reading
