What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026
This is the accessible version of the StudySync Reading and Writing Companion for Unit 7.3 ('Chasing the Impossible'), produced by the American Printing House for the Blind (APH) in a format compatible with the Louis accessible textbook system. StudySync is a widely used middle school English Language Arts curriculum, and APH produces these companion workbooks so students with visual impairments can access the same grade-level literary content as sighted peers — without having to wait for a classroom teacher to manually adapt materials. The $162 price reflects the physical braille or tactile edition; an e-file version is also available at a lower cost for digital braille readers. This is a single unit in a larger curriculum series, so schools adopting it will typically need multiple units across the year. Federal Quota funds are available, which means students registered through their state's APH quota program can access it at no direct cost to the school.
