What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026
This is a braille-transcribed version of the StudySync Reading and Writing Companion for Unit 12.5, 'Fractured Selves' — a middle or high school ELA curriculum unit produced by APH for blind and low-vision students who use braille as their primary reading format. APH transcribes and embosses materials from mainstream publishers so students can access the same curriculum as their sighted peers, and this unit covers the thematic content, reading selections, and writing prompts included in the original StudySync companion. It's a complete, ready-to-use braille volume — no additional equipment required — intended for a student who is already a braille reader enrolled in a class using the StudySync curriculum. At 12 pounds, this is a multi-volume braille set, which is typical for a single textbook unit; storage and transport logistics are worth planning for.
