What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This kit pairs commercially published Rigby nonfiction picture books with braille overlays or labels, giving a beginning reader who is blind or has low vision access to the same books their sighted peers use. The braille in these kits uses UEB Uncontracted format — meaning each letter is spelled out individually — which is appropriate for students who are just learning to read braille before moving on to contracted (shorthand) code. You receive a set of adapted print books ready for classroom or home use alongside sighted readers, with no additional assembly required. Note that APH has discontinued this product due to supply chain issues, so availability is limited to remaining stock.
