Project Ideas & Inspiration, Tips & Trends

One of the most frustrating things for parents and teachers alike is when a student is struggling, and it is unclear how to best assist them.

You may be surprised to hear that font style, font size, and the color of paper can help students with reading and reading comprehension issues!
