Accessibility

The CVI Book Nook is dedicated to providing free literacy materials that are accessible to most types of learners. I understand that functional vision can vary significantly among our readers, including those who identify as blind, visually impaired, having low vision, or having Cerebral/Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI). My goal is to ensure that all our digital materials are accessible.

I am actively working to improve the accessibility and usability of our website for everyone. This effort is ongoing as I strive for inclusion. If you would like to provide feedback, please email contact@cvibooks.com.
