Hi Valerie,
I got an answer back already This is not a change we can support given the
legacy of DAISY books in the collection. Sorry.

Hi, Scott!
Ask them to seriously consider it as an option, if not a standard. It is a
huge deal for starting sighted readers that Nichole is very eagerly advocating
for.
Thanks!

Valerie,
Interesting approach. Let me talk it through with Collection Development and
Engineering. A change like that would require a lot of cross-domain
conversation. But, for now, the answer is "no."

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?

4) Use these font sizes: For the:
20 point + BOLDING Book title
18 point + BOLDING Larger section headings
(such as "Part I", or "Section 2")
16 point + BOLDING Headings for each section
in the Front Matter, & Back Matter
16 point + BOLDING Chapter headings
14 point + BOLDING Chapter subheadings
12 point Text in the body
of the book
5) Maximum font size for anything in the file: =
20 point
Minimum font size for anything in the file: =
8 point
