New Kickstarter: Sorry I Am An Image Thinker – Design for Dyslexia

Are you ready to check out a new way for dyslexic students to learn words correctly? Vicky Kuhlman has an ingenious new book that uses words correlating with pictures to aid in correct pronunciation. By Fernette Eide

There has been some recent insight that has been given into the aspect of one dyslexic designer in particular having an interesting kick starter based on her master research into how dyslexic children actually read. In more detail to this in particular certain letters are presented as images that fit with correct pronunciation. Vicky in particular said that the project itself looks like a beautiful project.
When it comes to this in more detail according to Vicky the only critique of this in particular is the fact that she chose to misspell some certain words on purpose. With this aspect it could actually end up being confusing to children in particular with some of the reflections themselves contributing to some reversal errors of it in general.

Key takeaways

  1. Kickstarter campaigns are targeting dyslexia and education.
  2. Vicky Kuhlmann’s Kickstarter uses images to tie letters to pronunciation.
  3. This approach can help students learn how to read better.

Is your child struggling in school?

Get your free personalized learning roadmap

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.

  • Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
  • Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
  • You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
  • Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly

Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.

Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.

Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.

A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
