Dapple Grey Press

A UK-based independent pubisher of accessible children's books.

Dyslexia-Friendly
We aim to publish accessible stories, without sacrificing story quality or character development.
Our books feature:
​
-
Short chapters. A long chapter can be exhausting to readers who are working their socks off!
​​
-
Shorter novels. Shorter novels can be less intimidating to struggling readers. And finishing a novel of any length is a huge confidence-booster!
​​
-
Expertly edited, which means that care is taken with plot and characters.
​​
-
Content is matched to the age of the reader not their reading level. This information is clearly noted on the back cover of every book.
​
-
Stories approved by our target audiences!
​​​​
-
Dyslexia-friendly fonts. There are many dyslexia-friendly fonts, including the clownish Comic Sans. Sans serif fonts tend to be more readable, and our books are typeset in Lexend. (Our dyslexic test-readers love Lexend!)
​​
-
Cream-coloured paper to reduce visual stress.
​​
-
Generous spacing to stop pages from being over-crowded. This also gives shorter stories the illusion of being longer. Many struggling readers are aware that they are reading "skinny" books compared to their peers.

-
Content is matched to the age of the reader not their reading level. This information is clearly noted on the back cover of every book. (e.g., IA-8+ RA-7/8)
