Can you read this?
Just imagine what it is like - not being able to read...

You probably cannot not read this paragraph without great difficulty. You may see a number (4) - or a repeated letter (a) - or some word patterns (ooz or eht).
Think about having to navigate your day when you could not read the signs around you,the materials you work with -- or in this example a notice from your childʼs school informing parents of a field trip to the zoo.
