Challenge

Reading is very complicated for me, I have difficulty visualizing words on the left, I often lose track when I have to return to the line. My visual problems prevent me from seeing the characters if they are too small. Also, since I can no longer use my left arm, it is very difficult to hold a book with one hand and turn the pages.

I would like to find a device that would make reading easier for me, which was one of my favorite pastimes. It opened my mind and my imagination to the world. Reading also gives me good French and spelling skills.
