Discussion of Changing Fonts in Education: How the Benefits Vary with Ability and Dyslexia

  • The mean percentages of correct answers for Monotype Corsiva groups in all four MidYIS bands were higher than Arial groups.

    • The disfluent font did not cause a lower score or result in students doing worse on the test.
  • Currently, it is recommended to use simple fonts for dyslexic students.

    • In the study, dyslexic students had higher mean scores in the study group than dyslexic students in the control group (suggesting that disfluency is beneficial).
  • After the study, the researchers did a follow-up survey that asked students about their thoughts on disfluent fonts. There was no significant difference in liking or not liking disfluent fonts.
