Large print

For readers who have difficulty with the size of the print in a standard chapter book, the children's large print collection is well worth exploring.

The children's large print collection contains a mixture of popular and classic titles that have been published with a larger-than-usual font to support readers with visual impairment. They may also be a great option for readers with dyslexia or other related conditions, but not all dyslexic readers find that large text alone is helpful.

You will find children's large print books shelved with the children's fiction, with a special Large Print sticker on the spine to help identify them.
