Learner's stories
Read our learners stories. We are hearing from learners that there is a big difference in their education, learners are getting the titles they need. Where learners have their own access to RNIB Bookshare through their school they are getting to download a choice of curriculum reading and also leisure reading, leading to greater independence.
"RNIB Bookshare has been such a positive influence on him, he is bright, but was being held back by his access to the resources he needed."

What learner's tell us
“RNIB Bookshare just makes everything more accessible, because (I) do need large print, we can't just go into a bookshop, buy a book and bring it home. (I) need to have something accessible, which means something which we can enlarge.
Instead of having to order the book through a company, getting it all printed off and sent, customised, we can just download textbooks straight away from RNIB Bookshare and have the text adapted into her font size, quickly and instantly.”
