A Great Source for Books for Emergent Readers of All Ages
This is so exciting and a wonderful resource. On the Tar Heel Reader you’ll find a collection of easy-to-read books on a wide variety of topics. Each book is switch accessible and speech enabled. You may download the books as a slide show in PowerPoint, Impress, or Flash format. The Tar Heel Reader is an experimental prototype that is a result of a collaboration between Center for Literacy and Disability Studies and the department of Computer Science on the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. The collaboration of Gary Bishop, Karen Erickson, David Koppenhaver, Gretchen Hanser, and more in UNC Chapel Hill's Computer Science Department and The Center for Literacy and Disability Studies is a powerful and amazing example to us all. The website also allows others to write and contribute books thus creating a great open source library for ALL readers. Be sure to visit often and bookmark this page. I see great things coming of this!!
