Bookshare India
Improving Reading Skills Among Primary Students with Low Vision or Blindness
The Bookshare India project was an innovative solution to improve the reading skills of students who have low vision or are blind in Maharashtra, India. By giving access to simple technologies and high-interest books via both human-narrated Marathi audio and hard-copy Bharati braille and by creating opportunities for guided and independent reading time, the project was able to supplement current teaching practices in intervention schools to encourage improved literacy. This End-of-Project Report was implemented by Beneficent Technologies, Inc. in India for ACR GCD.
