Did you know that several of my poetry collections are available in accessible formats? If you or someone you know prefers large print, dyslexic-friendly text, DAISY audiobooks, or even Braille editions, you can find them through ReadHowYouWant.
Reading should be for everyone, and I love that my books can reach more kids—especially those who may have trouble with traditional print formats. Whether a child needs bigger text, an easier-to-read font, or an alternative format, these editions make it possible to enjoy the same silly, laugh-out-loud poems that kids everywhere love.
Here’s the full list of available books:
- The Armpit of Doom
- The Biggest Burp Ever
- My Cat Knows Karate
- My Dog Likes to Disco
- The Elephant Repairman
- A Festival for Frogs
More About these Accessible Formats
ReadHowYouWant offers a variety of formats to support readers with different needs. Their bestselling large print books use a 16-point font, making reading easier for those with visual impairments. Digital DAISY editions provide structured navigation and text-to-speech capabilities for blind and low-vision readers. Braille editions allow those who are blind to read through touch. Additionally, ReadHowYouWant developed a dyslexic-friendly format in 2016, designed specifically for individuals with reading difficulties, including dyslexia. These adaptations help make reading more accessible and enjoyable for children of all abilities.
Some of these books are also available in a format called Readable English, which uses a special markup system that makes English phonetic without changing the spelling. This system helps increase fluency and comprehension for readers who struggle with standard text. More details about Readable English can be found at readablenglish.com.
If you’d like to explore these editions, you can check them out at ReadHowYouWant.com. ReadHowYouWant distributes their books worldwide, including in Australia, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand. Additionally, promote their dyslexic-friendly titles through their website, DyslexicBooks.com, and 55 active distribution channels like Amazon, Ingram, and Baker & Taylor/Follett. Libraries and readers are regularly updated through newsletters, email promotions, and their Facebook page.
If you know a young reader who could benefit from accessible books, I hope you’ll help spread the word!
