[YART] Thorndike Press Striving Reader Program

[Becky Farwick]

Hi all-
I sent the following e-mail back in December.  Many of you responded, thank
you!  I will be meeting with the representative next week and just wanted
to follow up with those of you that meant to respond but got distracted by
those teens we all love to serve :)  (If you need me to resend the list,
just let me know.)

Do any of you have experience with this program?  Apparently studies are
coming out that show reading levels for struggling readers increase
significantly when they are given larger font books.  In response,
Thorndike Press has released a line of large font YA, crossover and classic
titles.  The complete collection is on the attached Excel file if you are
interested.

Do any of you collect large print YA books?  If so, how do you shelve it:
mixed in or on it's own? If you mix it in, how do identify it?  How long
have you been collecting YA large print?  Will you continue to add to the
collection?  Anything else I should know?

Thanks all!
