Speaking Books

The Speaking Book is a practical solution to the dual challenge of low literacy and shortage of training community workers. The Speaking Book is an interactive, multi-lingual hard-backed book with a 5 minute recorded sound box, that is seen, read, heard, and understood, regardless of reading ability. Each page features colorful illustrations with a short text and an icon that corresponds to a button on a keypad to trigger a celebrity voice reading the text on that page. The back cover of every book lists the phone numbers and contact details for the relevant health care support. Books of Hope designs and customizes the Speaking Books in coordination with a sponsoring organization.
