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.
All the best,
Bonnie Simcock Manager of Acquisitions Thorndike Press, a Gale Company

3 MIDDLE READER TITLES IN LARGE PRINT
LARGE PRINT CAN HELP DEVELOP READING SKILLS When middle grade students aren’t reading at a proficient level, large print can help. While the outside of a large print book looks like its standard print counterpart, the inside is designed to increase readability. The combination of a larger font and increased white space on a page helps readers: Decode words. With fewer words per page, large print books make the process of visualizing information easier for striving readers. They can sound out the words more effectively. Improve tracking and fluency. Larger fonts and increased spacing force the eye to move more slowly to help a reader avoid skipping or rereading lines. Develop greater reading comprehension. Once decoding errors are eliminated and fluency improves, striving readers can focus on the meaning of the text more readily.

This list represents ten of my students’ favorite books to read during novel groups over the years. As a 4th and 5th grade teacher, I strive to provide my students with engaging books that have well-developed, dynamic characters and unique plots that keep them wanting to read more. While students read these books in partnerships, I have them record their discussions about the book and post their videos to YouTube. Teaching students how to discuss books in meaningful ways with their peers has proven to be one of the best ways to increase comprehension and grow students who love to read!”

Wendy Thorp Youth Services Coordinator Austin Memorial Library Cleveland, TX As a public librarian, I have made it my mission to ensure that every young adult that walks into my library has a book they can walk out with.
