Our new Sunflower Library is a welcoming space within Winton Library where you will find our range of specialist resources.
They have been handpicked to help bring the magic of stories to all our families. Below you will find a list of all our resources showing the resources we have to offer.
The Sunflower Library includes:
Braille Books – We have both grade 1 and grade 2 braille books, as well as a range of board books to help train your fingers in preparation for learning braille. This collection of books is refreshed throughout the year, so there’s no danger of running out of new titles to share!
Giant Print Books – We have a selection of picture books that have been adapted for those needing a much larger font size and illustrations. These books are 75pt font and also include grade 1 UEB braille. The illustrations have also been enlarged and cropped to focus on the main details in the pictures. Perfect for sharing after school or at bedtime.
Specialist Large Print Books– We have a growing selection of specialist large print books which come in various font sizes, paper colours, and word and line spacing too. These books are all the latest and most popular titles, so you can keep up with your friends! Please see the
BSL Books – We have a selection of BSL picture books and board books, which sign along with the story. There is also a number of books which help teach adults and younger children how to sign important words from a range of topics, such as meal times. There are reference books available too, if you find yourself needing to know the sign for a new word!
Read-along Sets – These are a pack containing both a physical copy of a book (standard print) and also a CD containing the audio book. They are to be used together, allowing the reader to ‘read-along’ together with the audio. This is great for supporting reading in children, as well as being lots of fun!
Sensory Stories from Bag Books– Currently for use in the library only, we have a selection of sensory stories from Bag Books. These lovingly created stories are designed to be enjoyed by both adults and children with SEND. They use real world props, sounds, smells and textures to support storytelling either one-to-one or in a group.
