What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is the teacher/instructor reference volume for APH's Building on Patterns (BOP) Pre-Kindergarten braille literacy curriculum — a print guide designed for educators, not students. It covers the research foundation, instructional strategies, developmentally appropriate practices, and detailed indices that map across the four student braille lesson volumes. It's meant for teachers of students with visual impairments who are delivering the BOP Pre-K program in classroom or itinerant settings. This is a companion reference, not a standalone curriculum — it only makes sense alongside the BOP Pre-K braille lesson volumes. Teachers new to braille literacy instruction will get more out of it with support from a Teacher of Students with Visual Impairments (TVI).
