Tactile Book Builder Kit, Pack of Black Polyblend Pages (Set of 8)

by American Printing House for the Blind

$15.80

Professional guidance helps These pages slot into an existing kit and require no configuration themselves, but creating educationally meaningful tactile books requires a TVI who understands tactile literacy development — not something a parent or teacher without specialist training can optimize independently. professional_recommended reflects that the pages themselves are simple, but their effective use is not.

What it is

Summary

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

These are replacement polyblend pages for the APH Tactile Book Builder Kit — a system that lets educators and families create custom tactile books for students who are blind or have low vision. The black polyblend material is designed to hold tactile elements (thermoform overlays, textures, raised-line graphics) firmly in place, and the dark color provides high contrast for students with functional but limited vision. You're buying a set of 8 pages only — you'll need the original Tactile Book Builder Kit (catalog 1-08826-00) for the binder hardware, rings, and other components to assemble a finished book. This is a consumable replenishment item, so if you're already in a school program or TVI practice using the kit, it's straightforward to integrate; for anyone new to tactile book construction, a teacher of the visually impaired (TVI) or O&M specialist typically guides the process of designing and assembling meaningful tactile books.
