LRS LARGE PRINT MEETS THE NEEDS OF THE...

VISUALLY IMPAIRED

For decades, LRS has provided visually impaired students with custom-made enhanced LARGE PRINT books with:

* Big Type * Bold Print * Sharp Contrast * Small Book Format *Durable Binding

Over 21,000 titles utilize our exclusive "full-view" format — best described as a half page of original text becoming a full page in the reproduction. The format has become so popular because it guarantees proper type enlargement with minimum book size (averages 9" x 11"). The type size for each reproduction can be adjusted to meet the visual limitations of the user. In addition, the special bindings allows the LRS book to lay open flat or be folded back. It is indeed the ideal LARGE PRINT book for INCLUSION!

LEARNING DISABLED

LRS LARGE PRINT reproductions have been helping the visually impaired student for over 30 years, but did you know that LARGE PRINT can benefit the Learning Disabled as well? LARGE PRINT is being used more and more for LD students! In the last few years, both parents and teachers of children and adults with learning disabilities, particularly dyslexia, have been telling us that LARGE PRINT books can facilitate the initial reading process.

LARGE PRINT can truly "open up the world of reading" for LD students by :

1. Unjumbling words!
2. Reducing focus demand & visual delineation between the text & background!
3. Making the tracking process easier

LARGE PRINT is not the answer for all LD students, but it is a valuable tool to have on hand — serving as that crucial "jump start" needed for moving the LD student down the road to reading success!

MULTI-DISABLED

LRS’ flip chart format has been found to be ideal for multi-disabled students! This format can now be provided for almost any textbook and/or workbook. The one sided printing of each page means that a student never has to pick up or handle the book! The flip chart format has also been very popular with special schools, as a tool to teach tracking. Its benefits include:

1. Each page easily flips over top of stand—to be pushed over by reader or assistant.
   
   
2. Heavy duty, stiff plastic cover with spiral binding, which fits on a typing or music stand. It can even stand on its own!
   
   
3. Type can be enlarged from 20 to 24 pt., and even more in some cases.
