Accessible Books - SEN, Disability, Struggling Readers

Welcome to our accessible books collection! It includes a range of books that could be suitable for SEN readers, those with disabilities, struggling readers, dyslexia, or any other circumstance that makes traditional books unsuitable.

To support readers who face challenges with traditional formats, we’ve carefully curated this collection of accessible books, perfect for those who need additional support or for anyone looking to share these stories with loved ones who do.

At Books2Door, we believe literature should be for everyone - its magic deserves to reach every corner of the world. We recognise that not all readers experience books in the same way, and we are committed to ensuring that stories remain open to all.

We know that accessibility is an ongoing journey, and there is no one definiton of an SEND book. While our collection isn’t yet perfect, we’re working hard to make it as inclusive as possible. In the meantime, we invite you to explore what we offer- let’s find the perfect book for you together!
