What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is the Teacher's Edition and Reference Volume for Unit 1 of the Building on Patterns (BOP) Second Grade braille literacy curriculum, published in braille format by APH. It's designed for teachers of visually impaired students who are learning to read and write braille in a structured, sequential literacy program — the reference volume provides instructional guidance, lesson scaffolding, and program background so the teacher understands how to deliver the curriculum effectively. You're getting the teacher-facing materials only; student consumables, manipulatives, and other unit materials are sold separately and will be needed to run the full program. This is a specialized resource best used by a Teacher of the Visually Impaired (TVI) familiar with braille instruction — classroom teachers without braille literacy training will find it difficult to use without additional professional support.
