Become a Literacy Champion

Literacy Champions are monthly donors whose steady stream of support helps NBP foster braille literacy. Your support offsets the cost of books for readers like Juna, who learned braille using NBP's print/braille children's books. "I admit I didn't want to learn braille at first... then my mom started to bring home books from NBP. All my favorites were there... I started to love to read again! I am about to enter Harvard this fall and I know I will be using braille for my tests and piano playing."

The last chapter includes tips from blind students - who use their iPads daily - and one very committed parent.
