Learning to read with Byron was created by Tracy Ashbridge, a well qualified and experienced teacher of students with learning difficulties, in conjunction with app developers Section 31 Pty Ltd.

For many years Tracy Ashbridge has been helping struggling readers and remediating reading problems. Teaching children to read is a vital life skill and for students with learning disabilities this requires additional resources to improve reading skills.

Learning to read with Byron – Visual Constancy is one of an evolving collection of apps designed to support children learning to read.

The main character is a bear called Byron, who makes the learning experience both visually appealing and fun!

Learning to read with Byron is a reading game, which specifically targets the development of visual form constancy. It was created to provide a reading app for kids to develop their skills in identifying letters when presented in different fonts or forms. Many students have difficulties with recognizing letters when they are presented in different fonts. Visual Constancy is the ability to mentally manipulate forms of the letters. This skill helps children distinguish differences in size, shape and orientation. Students with Visual Constancy difficulties often reverse letters and numbers.
