Why Bionic Reading Works for ADHD

I've spent years studying how people read. Recently I discovered something that actually helps people with ADHD read better. It's called Bionic Reading.

The Problem

If you have ADHD, reading is hard. Your eyes drift. Your mind wanders. You read the same paragraph three times. After an hour of reading, you're exhausted.

These aren't minor inconveniences. They're serious barriers that make reading feel like a fight against your own brain.

What's Bionic Reading?

Bionic Reading is simple: it makes the first few letters of each word bold. That's it. Like this:

• Reading
• Focus
• Attention

This small change makes a big difference. Here's why it works:

1. Your brain already recognizes words by their first few letters
2. The bold letters give your eyes a clear path to follow
3. You spend less energy trying to focus on where to look next

The Results

When people with ADHD use Bionic Reading, three things happen:

1. They read faster
2. They understand more
3. They get less tired

I'm not making vague claims. We have numbers:

Real World Use

Here's how to start using Bionic Reading today:

1. Get a browser extension

The Truth About ADHD and Reading

ADHD affects everyone differently. What works for one person might not work for another. But Bionic Reading is worth trying because:

1. It's free
2. It's easy to test
3. It doesn't require learning anything new
4. You can turn it off anytime

The best tools are often the simplest. Bionic Reading isn't a cure for ADHD. It's just a clever way to work with how our brains naturally process text.
