Join Specialist Speech and Language Therapist, Joanna Courtney from CALL Scotland as she takes us on a comprehensive tour of Accessible Picture Books for Learners with Print Disabilities, including the titles gifted in the Bookbug P1 Family Bag from Scottish Book Trust.

For over a decade, CALL Scotland have worked alongside Scottish Book Trust to ensure that learners with Print Disabilities are able to access books in the format that they need.

Each year during Book Week Scotland, all Primary One learners are gifted a bag of books by Scottish Book Trust. Over the years, this ‘Bookbug P1 Family Bag’ has contained a fantastic range of high-quality picture books from Scottish authors and illustrators. You can read more about Scottish Book Trust and their mission to create a love for books and reading from an early age over on their website.

At CALL Scotland, we’re all about ensuring learners with Additional Support Needs are enabled to access communication and learning through assistive technologies. So, for the P1 Family Bag books, this means creating alternative formats, so that no matter how an individual learner might need to access a book, they read and participate along with their classmates.

Each year we create alternative formats for each book that can be accessed through switches, touch and eye gaze. Join the webinar to find out a bit more about these alternative formats.
