Maximize the Effectiveness of Large Print

So here's a few quick pointers...

• Always enlarge by increasing the font size on your computer.

• Never enlarge on a photocopier (the text becomes grainy, gray, and harder to read)

• 16-18 point font is the most effective size.  If a learner needs larger than 18 point font they may need a different means of accessing text, such as a video enlarger, braille, or screen reader. See Braille, Audio, or Large Print.
