Dyslexia shouldn’t keep kids from reading the Bible. And now, it doesn’t have to!
Learning to study and understand the Bible as a child can be exciting and overwhelming for every learner, especially those who are reading truth and navigating dyslexia. For parents and teachers, small group leaders and pastors, the CSB Grace Bible for Kids just might become your go-to Bible resource.
Part of what makes the CSB Grace Bible for Kids so special is the readable, faithful-to-the-original text of the Christian Standard Bible® (CSB). The CSB’s optimal blend of accuracy and readability makes it a trustworthy, easy-to-understand resource for kids to study and memorize today—and to live and share for a lifetime.
“Kids who feel intimidated by reading can feel comfortable with this new typeface in a Bible that’s made specifically with them in mind,” said Lifeway President Ben Mandrell. “Dyslexia shouldn’t keep kids from reading the Bible. At its core, the CSB Grace Bible for Kids is meeting the need of helping young readers interact and connect with God in a personal way through His Word.”
The CSB Grace Bible for Kids is designed for kids ages 7-12, offering an inclusive reading approach with improved visual processing. The Bible integrates academically tested typeface and design principles developed by 2K/DENMARK and Cambridge University’s research department.
“If you are dyslexic, sometimes you see letters as bouncing balloons because they don’t stay on the baseline. In designing the Grace typeface, we made sure to fix the letters to the baseline by making them heavier towards the bottom,” Klaus Krogh, founder of 2K/DENMARK, explained.
Five years ago, Krogh began developing the Grace typeface, while Cambridge University participated in testing and refining the design. The typeface assists readers in distinguishing between similar letters such as “m” and “n” or “p” and “q.” The Bible also features special-colored page overlays that enhance visual processing and can reduce visual stress.
A version of the Grace Bible for teens and adults is also expected to be released in February 2025.
“I am so looking forward to hearing the feedback,” said Krogh. “I hope and pray this will help someone connect with the content of the Bible. We know faith changes lives, and we’d like as many as possible to be given the chance to change their life by the message in the Bible.”
