Make it easier for people with dyslexia to recognize silent letters in text.

The Issue


We the undersigned call for swift action from publishers and Google, Inc. to put a symbol under silent letters to show kids that they are silent letters. We’re asking you to do this because I have dyslexia and it is hard for me to remember which letters are silent in words. I would like publishers and writers to make a version of books that are coming out, and books that are already out and popular, with the symbol under silent letters. One out of five people have dyslexia! This would help 1.5 billion people in the world! It would make it more likely for parents and kids to buy your books and read them and recommend them.
