My Students

The students at my campus fall into a wide range of affluent all the way low socio-economic, immigrants and those who qualify for free and reduced lunch. We have a lot of students who struggle with wanting to read and being overwhelmed by small text and long books. Large print books would definitely increase reading on my campus.

My Project

I have a lot of reluctant readers on my campus. Last year I was given a few large print books as a thank you for meeting with a rep from Thorndike Large Print Press. The books were popular titles that are always off the shelf. Once I put them in the system, those particular books were constantly checked out. I had students specifically requesting the large print versions of those books.

The research shows that reluctant readers like large print because there is more white space on the page, less words as well, so it feels like they're reading fast because they're constantly turning the page.

This trick of the eyes and brain has students wanting to check out more books like these because they're not intimidated by the small font or largeness of the book. This project is to purchase more popular titles in large print to get more reluctant readers excited about reading! It can also help my ESL learners who also need words to be bigger, in different fonts, etc. to help them understand the words.
