Proposed Solution

@lwnoble had discussed this a little in our 09/05/24 Theme Builder status call. The idea here is to introduce support for Bionic Reading (https://bionic-reading.com/br-method/) in Theme Builder. Lise thinks that this could possible be done as an overlay (similar to the dyslexic overlay) if bionic reading fonts exist. Otherwise, we talked about introducing a component that could render text in a Bionic Reading format. In the latter case, its usefulness would be limited to only those who use our components in their applications.

@lwnoble believes that this needs to be a component so overlay won't be a possibility.

Because no studies have been concluded that endorse Bionic Reading, we should maybe do some more research on this prior to implementing a component.
