(Louis) Building on Patterns, Second Grade, Unit 7, Celebrate Books

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026

This is the braille-adapted version of the second-grade Building on Patterns literacy curriculum, Unit 7 (Celebrate Books), produced by APH as a downloadable e-file for use with the Louis database. Building on Patterns is a structured reading program designed specifically for students who are blind or have low vision, providing grade-aligned literacy instruction through braille-formatted materials. It's intended for second-grade students who are blind and learning to read braille, used within a school or teacher-of-the-visually-impaired (TVI) context. This is a curriculum component — a single unit in a larger series — so it functions as part of a complete instructional sequence rather than a standalone product, and you'll need embossing capability or a braille display to produce or access the materials. Federal Quota funds are available for this item, which is the primary funding route for most school districts purchasing APH products.
