Summer is the perfect time to keep young readers engaged — discover the resources and strategies that make independent reading accessible for children who are blind or visually impaired.
This session highlights the importance of maintaining strong literacy habits over the summer for children who are blind or visually impaired, with a focus on accessible and engaging reading options. Attendees will gain insight into available resources such as braille collections, audiobooks, and large print materials, as well as strategies for helping families support independent reading at home.
