MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- For centuries, the printed word has been presented as a left-justified wall of text, filling up the page (just as you are reading now). This practice originated in the Middle Ages, when paper was a rare commodity and white space couldn't be spared. In today's world, text is increasingly presented on digital devices. Cascade Reading asks, "Why not update text formatting for the digital age, in a way that makes reading easier?" 

Key Points: 
  • Cascade Reading asks, "Why not update text formatting for the digital age, in a way that makes reading easier?"
  • Cascade Reading offers a new technology-driven approach to visualize grammatical relationships within a sentence so that students can more easily decode meaning.
  • In a 13-week study with 4th and 5th grade students, we observed:
    Students reading in Cascade format earned better scores over time on comprehension measures than the control group reading traditionally formatted text.
  • People deserve access to alternative methods of reading, learning, and comprehending, and Cascade Reading offers a bold new approach."
