What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · June 18, 2026
This is the teacher's edition for Unit 6 of APH's Building on Patterns (BOP) first-grade braille literacy curriculum, printed in braille for teachers of visually impaired students. BOP is a structured, systematic approach to teaching braille reading and writing to young students who are blind or have significant vision loss, and this guide walks the instructor through lesson plans, instructional strategies, and assessments specific to that unit. It's designed for Teachers of the Visually Impaired (TVIs) working in schools or itinerant programs — not for parents or classroom aides working independently. This is the teacher's guide only; the student kit for Unit 6 is sold separately, and you'll need both to deliver the full unit.
