What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026
This is a large-print edition of 'A Plant is a System,' a science book designed for students with low vision who need accessible print materials. Large-print textbooks from APH are produced under the Federal Quota program, which means eligible students in the U.S. can receive them at no cost through their state's quota allocation — the $60 price applies to out-of-quota purchases. It's a standalone book requiring no additional hardware or software, just a teacher or parent who knows how to access the Federal Quota ordering process through the student's TVI (teacher of students with visual impairments). The large-print format is fixed — it won't suit students who need braille or digital formats, so check whether this title is also available in those formats from the APH Louis catalog if needed.
