What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is a set of 27 children's picture books transcribed into interpoint braille, plus one print-braille book, designed for prekindergarten students who are blind or have significant vision loss. The books pair with the Building on Patterns curriculum — a structured literacy program developed specifically for braille readers — so this set is a curriculum component, not a standalone reading program. Families and teachers should know these are the braille book titles that accompany the Student Kit (sold separately), meaning the full program requires additional materials to use as intended. At this age range, an orientation and mobility specialist, teacher of the visually impaired (TVI), or early childhood special educator will typically guide how these books are introduced and used.
