LEARN HOW LARGE PRINT SUPPORTS LITERACY SEE HOW SUBTLE DIFFERENCES LEAD TO BIG ADVANTAGES FIND OUT WHICH TITLES MADE YOUR PEERS’ TOP PICKS DISCOVER HOW LARGE PRINT CAN ENCOURAGE STRIVING READERS When reading feels like a laborious process, young readers can become disengaged and discouraged. Make it less so with large print. At Thorndike Press®, we look for standout middle grade and young adult debuts, along with award-winning, tried-and-true classics. Among a collection of nearly 400 large print books and counting, we strive to achieve a mix of high-interest, popular titles available for self-selected reading, and titles that already have content or curriculum built around them. Large print provides striving readers with options. To avoid the stigma that can sometimes be associated with large print, the books have the same artwork on the cover as the standard print edition and are not labeled as “large print” on the cover. Many titles focus on diversity—recognizing the fact that young readers want to identify culturally with what they are reading. The bottom line is that striving readers want to read what their peers are reading. Why not augment your current print reading program by offering at least 10% of your collection in multiple formats? You can introduce young readers to the concept of large print with a multiformat display or read-aloud session. Explore this catalog to see all Thorndike Press has to offer.
