What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is the teacher's edition of APH's Building on Patterns prekindergarten literacy curriculum, formatted in Unified English Braille (UEB) so educators can follow along and instruct students who are blind or have low vision. It covers early reading, writing, and spelling skills — the same developmental sequence as sighted-reader curricula, but built around braille literacy from the start. This is one component of a larger multi-volume program; teachers will need the corresponding student materials and likely the full BOP curriculum set to run a complete lesson sequence. Educators new to braille instruction or to this specific curriculum should plan on some orientation time, as BOP has its own scope and sequence that differs from mainstream reading programs.
