Learners with Reading Difficulties

Today's post is a Heads-Up for a Digital Library for learners with "Reading Difficulties".

Bookshare - https://www.bookshare.org/cms/ - is a platform that provides access to a large library of reading materials, over 600,000 titles, covering different content areas and available in formats that individuals with Reading Difficulties can read.

There are different ways that individuals can read Bookshare books.
They can...

• listen to them with high quality text-to-speech voices, 
• hear and see highlighted words on screen or
• read them with digital braille or enlarged fonts.

Another alternative is to read directly from their own Internet browser.

NOTE: Bookshare is available for free for qualified USA students. However, non USA students and other organisations pay a small fee.
