With reading scores in decline, educators are searching for ways to re-engage students—and new research suggests that something as simple as larger print could make a difference. A study found that books with bigger text and more spacing reduce stress, boost confidence, and encourage students to read more. Teachers reported that struggling readers became more engaged, participated more in class, and even improved their comprehension. While no single solution will fix literacy challenges, large print books might be an overlooked tool in fostering lifelong readers.
