Although much literature is now available on audiobooks and is thus more accessible to dyslexics or people with other reading difficulties. Is there still much literature that has not been read? A closed book is an illustration of the sorrow of struggling to read. Although most dyslexics can read to varying degrees, it requires a lot of mental capacity, and can be very tiring, as decoding occurs in a different way than is common in neurotypical people. Dyslexics often have problems recognizing the whole word and can often see each individual letter and then put it together to form a word. Dyslexics often have problems recognizing phonemes, that is, the sounds a word is made up of. It is also common for a dyslexic not to necessarily read the word or sentence in the correct order. For example, it only stood for crew on a door on a boat, but instead I read with my dyslexic brain: only for cabinet man. Direction can also be a challenge when it comes to distinguishing which way a letter should point, for example b and d. This is often also expressed in the fact that dyslexics are less able to learn the difference between right and left.

With a closed book, I express a wish that more books are read on audiobooks and become more accessible to people who, for various reasons, struggle to read.
