What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is the teacher's guide for the Building on Patterns (BOP) kindergarten braille literacy curriculum, printed in standard print for sighted instructors. It walks teachers of the visually impaired (TVIs) through structured lessons covering reading, writing, and spelling using Unified English Braille (UEB) — the current standard for English braille instruction. This is one component of a larger multi-volume curriculum; the complete BOP program also includes student materials, braille workbooks, and tactile graphics sold separately. Teachers new to braille instruction will get the most from this guide alongside formal TVI training — it's written for credentialed professionals, not general education teachers using it independently.
