What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026
This is a braille-formatted e-file version of the StudySync Reading and Writing Companion, Unit 9.2: The Call to Adventure, produced by the American Printing House for the Blind (APH) through their Louis database. StudySync is a mainstream ELA curriculum used in secondary schools, and this version makes the grade 9 unit accessible to students who read braille — the e-file format means it can be downloaded and embossed or loaded onto a braille display rather than waiting for physical braille textbooks. It's designed for blind or low-vision students in inclusive classrooms following the same curriculum as their sighted peers. This is a file you download and then produce or display — you'll need an embosser, braille display, or compatible software to actually use it, and schools typically manage that through a Teacher of the Visually Impaired (TVI). Federal Quota funds are available, which means eligible students can receive it at no cost to the school or family through the APH quota system.
