SilverTip: New Curricular Hi-Lo Books from Bearport Focus on Student Success

Bearport Publishing will feature their new SilverTip Books, curricular hi-lo books for struggling readers, at the 2022 ALA conference in Washington, DC.

SilverTip Books reach upper elementary, middle school, and English Language Learning students struggling to access curricular topics at reading level.

The sophisticated, uncluttered design appeals to students in grades five through seven, while a second to third grade reading level helps bring them up to speed with their classmates.

Bearport Publishing developed SilverTip Books with a carefully researched Dyslexia-friendly font and design to improve accessibility for all students. The books feature a specialized font that emphasizes the distinctions between each letter to avoid letter swapping, mirroring, or turning associated with Dyslexia. Larger spacing between each word and carefully selected background coloring helps improve readability.

The text emphasizes a strong active voice and concise sentence structure to create a smooth, uninterrupted flow for struggling readers. Photos and graphics help support the text and illustrate more complex concepts.

Covering curricular topics including STEM, social studies, current events, and more, the entire SilverTip experience is designed with student success in mind!
