“GREAT DOCUMENTS SERIES”
The “Great Documents Series” was designed to help older readers learn about American history. It is a specialized part of our library service which should be of interest to blind people in junior high or beyond. Teachers in civics classes will be glad to have this series for their blind students. You can also use the “Great Documents Series” as a vehicle for publicizing the work of the American Action Fund for Blind Children and Adults, especially on Independence Day or other patriotic holidays.
“THE SHAPE OF THINGS”
“The Shape of Things” series is another specialized part of our Twin Vision® program. Blind children, like their sighted peers, want to learn about everything from dinosaurs to musical instruments. The raised illustrations, which were developed for “The Shape of Things” series, help them do that and much more. Blind children are excited about showing their “pictures” to sighted friends. Sighted children begin to understand that picture books are fun for blind kids, too. The series is another excellent public education tool.
