My Project

Today's students are very used to being able to change the font size on all the devices they are using. However, books don't work this way. That's why I'd like to order large print books to make it easier for them.

Other teachers have found that many students prefer large print books because they make the writing more accessible to decipher and boost students' confidence.

The students are thus able to read higher-level books if they are in a large print format. Therefore, besides helping our visually impaired students, these books will also help many regular students.
