Reading Program 1998
Large-print books are not listed by categories. This provides more options for readers who must limit their reading to large print. As books are read, decide which category is appropriate and report your reading in that category. Report audiocassettes the same way, unless an audiocassette is also listed as a book. In that case, report the audiocassette in the same category as the book. Please note: Large-print books and audiocassettes may be read by anyone.
