How It Works

You pick an article that interests you, read it in an aphasia-friendly layout — short sentences, clear words, room to breathe — and answer questions to lock it in.

How to Practice in 3 Simple Steps
  1. Pick an article you care about. Interest is fuel — you'll read more when it matters to you.
  2. Read it aphasia-friendly. Short lines, clear words, clean layout.
  3. Answer the questions. Confirm it landed, build confidence.
Aphasia-Friendly Is a Format, Not a Topic

This is one of the quiet indignities of aphasia recovery: the reading level you need and the content you want stop matching. Simple text usually means childish topics; adult topics usually mean impossible text. So people stop reading, and the skill — and the connection to the world — fades. But there is no law that says accessible text has to be about talking animals. Real news, real interests, real adult topics can all be written aphasia-friendly. It just takes someone bothering to do it.

Common Questions

What makes text aphasia-friendly?
