Literatti seeks to provide the best accessibility possible to visually-impaired readers. Once the transition to the new format is complete, all English-language stories will be available in large print by appending ?format=largeprint to the URL. Use this by-date listing of stories currently available in large print, or browse the collections and then use the links within the stories themselves, where available. The aim is to covert all stories to the new scripting arrangements by the end of the year.
