Marianne is an author, blogger and dyslexia advocate, but most importantly she is a homeschooling mother of eight lively children ages 5 to 24, including Zac and Abby Sunderland, known for their world-record setting around the world sailing campaigns. Because 7 of her 8 children are dyslexic, Marianne is passionate about educating and encourage families, not only to understand dyslexia, but also to discover and nurture their children’s talents. Marianne’s website, Homeschooling with Dyslexia, provides weekly articles on homeschooling kids with ADD, ADHD and Dyslexia.

Best New Features:

1. Pac-man reading mode: The latest research at MIT and Harvard shows that everyone can double their reading speed with no loss of comprehension. The new technique combines audio, visual, and attention propulsion. The words disappear from the page a fraction of a second before they're spoken by text-to-speech. This forces the reader to visually scan ahead. With practice, the results can be amazing.
2. Finger reading: Some readers struggle to follow even the slowest speed, which also becomes distorted. With finger reading, the reader drags a finger under the text to hear each word.
3. Quickly browse the text: On an iPhone 6s or 6s plus, you can press firmly on the fast forward button while the app is reading -- Force Touch -- to double the reading speed. Release it slightly to return to normal speed.
