Bookshare recently introduced two new online
tools to help kids with print disabilities connect with books. Web Reader allows
kids to directly open books with a browser without requiring them to download
the book or use separate software. It also lets readers adjust font size, colors
and display format, and takes advantage of Google Chrome's features that allow
students to read books multi-modally, with word-by-word highlighting and
text-to-speech capability. Bookshelf allows readers (or their teachers) to
organize selections by any system they choose. Teachers can download the year's
reading list for multiple students at once. http://www.thedigitalshift.com/2013/02/k-12/bookshare-launches-new-ebook-tools-for-kids-with-print-disabilities/
