BrightPencil should be usable in more than one way.

We aim to make BrightPencil Kids comfortable for children and grown-ups with different reading, motor, vision and device needs. We use WCAG 2.2 AA as an accessibility target where it applies, but we do not claim formal conformance until the complete production experience has been independently tested.

Current design practices

• Large touch targets and block-based choices in child-facing screens.
• Spoken guidance using supported browser/device speech synthesis.
• Text labels alongside icons so meaning does not depend on colour alone.
• Keyboard-focusable buttons, links and form controls.
• Reduced-motion support when the device requests reduced motion.
• Readable contrast and scalable text.
• Simple finite activities instead of rapid or endless interaction.

PDFs

Printable PDFs are primarily provided for printing. Children who need an on-screen experience should use the BrightPencil “Practice here” activity when available rather than relying on a PDF viewer.

Tell us about a barrier

If something is difficult to use with a keyboard, screen reader, touch, stylus, zoom or another access method, please report it through Support. Accessibility issues should be treated as product defects, not optional polish.
