Rolling Right Along Construction Kit

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026

This kit gives teachers and parents the materials to build their own tactile-interactive storybooks modeled after APH's Rolling Into Place series — books designed for students with visual impairments who learn through touch and hands-on exploration. Each book made with this kit incorporates tactile elements that make narrative and concept-building accessible without relying on print or visual images. You're buying a construction kit, not a finished book — the adult builds the book, then uses it as an instructional tool with a child. It works best when the educator or parent already has some familiarity with tactile learning materials or APH's approach; without that context, knowing how to sequence and present the resulting book effectively may take some guidance.

What Setup Looks Like

• Out of the box
  Unpack the kit and review included components to understand what materials are available for book construction.
• With a guide
  
  1. Review APH's Rolling Into Place storybook for reference on how tactile elements are organized and used.
  2. Assemble the book using the kit components, incorporating tactile features aligned with the story or concept you want to teach.
  3. Plan how you'll introduce the finished book to the student — consider pacing, vocabulary, and tactile exploration sequence. Allow 30–60 minutes for initial construction. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
• With professional help
  
  1. A Teacher of the Visual Impaired (TVI) can advise on which tactile elements are most appropriate for a specific student's tactile literacy level.
  2. Consultation with a TVI typically takes one session and can significantly improve how the book is constructed and used instructionally.
