Professional guidance helps This is a guide for teachers, not a book a child reads on their own. A family could look through it, but it works best in the hands of a teacher or braille specialist who can fit the program to a student's needs. That is why professional guidance is recommended rather than required.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

This Reference Volume is the teacher's guide for the first-grade level of the Building on Patterns primary braille literacy program. It is written in braille and is meant to help a teacher understand the program and teach young braille readers. It is one piece of the larger first-grade program, so you'll use it alongside the other program materials.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Open the volume and read the front sections to see how the first-grade program is laid out.
  • With a guide
    1. Read through the reference volume before the first lesson so you know how it fits with the rest of the program.
    2. Visit the program overview and resources pages at aphbop.org for more background.
  • With professional help
    A teacher of students with visual impairments (TVI) usually decides how to use the program with each student, and may plan the teaching sequence. Planning can take a few hours up front.
