The origins of
the FROG format
Specific learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, affect between 6% and 8% of Canadians. The Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC) estimates that more than one in ten Canadian students do not reach the reading proficiency level expected in Grade 8/Secondary 2. This is why the FROG technology is designed to empower these groups of readers, who are often faced with a shortage of professional and material resources. FROG offers an interactive ebook where readers can select the tools that suit them best.
