Hey, Scott!
Reading with Nichole and trying to work with Nichole's teacher about
introducing Bookshare to beginning readers, I have a question/proposition. In
order to place emphasis on readable text in board books and early reader
picture books, books that have no other navigation than title, would it be
acceptable to put book text in bold 16 or 18 pt. and picture descriptions, not
bolded and in 12 pt? It would help print "pop" for visual readers (dyspexic
and kids with PD) and even allow teaching navigation in a more useful and
functional ways to early readers. That way a parent reading the book would
have easy access to all information, but a new reader being introduced to
reading would have better presentation of age level text.
Thoughts?
Valerie
