Monarch Reader is now available in Grid 3

We are excited to announce our partnership with Building Wings on a new accessible app: Monarch Reader. Monarch Reader is now available within Grid 3 for Windows, giving users access to a library of books with eye gaze, switch, pointer, and touch access.

Continuing the legacy of Tar Heel Reader, Monarch Reader offers a vast digital library with adapted books for learners of all ages. Thousands of books are already created, and new books can be created on the Monarch Reader website, then accessed within the app.
