Reading together is a wonderful way to spend time with your child or grandchild, and sharing stories can create a bond that will last a lifetime. However, it can be difficult for some families to read together if one of the readers has a visual impairment. But thanks to the CBB, this is no longer an obstacle.
The shared reading concept is a great invention that ensures that children’s books are accessible to everyone. With tactile images and a combination of Braille and large print, children and parents can read together at literally any level. And if it is difficult to read the text, there is always the audio pen SAM, which ensures that the stories can still be heard.
But it’s not just about the technology, it’s about giving everyone the opportunity to read and experience stories, regardless of their limitations.
My Little Toddler Bible
The CBB has taken a huge step forward by collaborating with the Dutch-Flemish Bible Society to produce the very first tactile toddler Bible. This is a unique product specially designed for children and (grand)parents with a visual impairment. It offers the opportunity to read, feel and listen to eight beautiful stories, providing a unique and inclusive experience for families.
