Books for All

Just because you have difficulty reading or turning a page doesn’t mean that you can’t share in the enjoyment of books.

Children and young people may have difficulty reading ordinary printed books for a number of reasons.  The technology that is available to us today makes it easier than ever before for everyone to access books irrespective of their difficulties. By getting hold of a book in digital format, readers can enlarge text, change background colours or even convert books to speech by means of a few simple key strokes on a computer.  CALL Scotland have created the excellent Books for All website which contains a wealth of information on accessible books and provides links on how you can obtain these for your child.
