Ways of reading: finding books for children
Summary: How to find reading materials in accessible formats for children of all ages.
The Ways of reading leaflet is designed to help you find reading materials in accessible formats for children of all ages who are blind or partially sighted - for pleasure, information or school work.
Ways of reading
The leaflet is free of charge and is a joint venture by Calibre Audio Library, The ClearVision Project, National Blind Children’s Society and RNIB.
It is a guide to finding reading materials in accessible formats for children who read:
- by touch (braille, Moon, tactile images)
- by listening (CDs, cassette, MP3, Daisy)
- through computer (email, downloads)
- using large print (customised print, clear and giant print).
Many of the organisations listed can provide advice and guidance. There may also be a local society for blind and partially sighted people in your area to offer support.

Mary’s story – Mary joined a Telephone Book Club and meets new people over the phone who share her passion. "I live alone. I’ve always been quite active but suddenly I find that I’m not. Reading is my biggest pleasure, I’ve read all my life. The group is very good if you live alone. You get to know other people." Mary’s full story.
