Code List 196 - 24: Dyslexia readability

Explanation

Code 24 indicates that a publication has been formatted specifically for reading by users with dyslexia.

The publication will likely include specialised font, character and/or line spacing, justification and paragraph spacing, coloring and other options.

Information about the formatting, such as the font family used, should be included in a <ProductFormFeatureDescription> element.

Publications optimized for reading by persons with dyslexia are also typically identified by the <EditionType> code HRE, for high readability edition. (Note that not all high readability editions are formatted only for dyslexic readers.)
