A Comprehensive Selection of Oversized Books for Kids: A Hands-On Approach to Reading
Hey there! Here's a fresh take on the benefits of large print children's chapter books:
Large print books aren't just a resource for visually impaired students. A study by Project Tomorrow® and Thorndike Press found that these books offer literary advantages for learners of all levels, reducing stress and improving comprehension.
By increasing the white space between words and sentences, large print books offer 'eye breaks' from the bombardment of letters and words. This ease of decoding text boosts literacy confidence and helps students focus better on the content, minimizing distractions. The resulting enhanced comprehension leads to an increase in reading enjoyment and, in turn, frequency of reading for pleasure.
Feel like giving it a go? Try large print books regardless of your reading level. You might find that they offer a more pleasant reading experience. Share them with the kiddos in your life, too, and see if they notice a difference.
