Welcome
Welcome to the Tar Heel Reader. Here 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.
If you don’t find a book that suits your reader’s interests you can easily make your own book.
This site is an experimental prototype demonstrating a simple way to create and share accessible books. It is a result of a collaboration between Center for Literacy and Disability Studies and the department of Computer Science.
This site was developed and tested this with the Firefox web browser. It appears to work with IE7 but do yourself a favor and get Firefox.
The graph below shows the amazing growth of the collection thanks to the contributions of many authors.
