Professional guidance helps A teacher's guide has no setup, but it only helps if someone knows how to teach braille. A teacher of students with visual impairments can use it far more effectively than a family working alone, so professional guidance is recommended rather than required.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

This is the braille-format Teacher's Edition for Unit 3 of the first grade level of Building on Patterns, a primary braille literacy program. It is the teacher's guide for the unit, not something a child reads on their own. It is bought separately from the First Grade Unit 3 Student Kit (UEB), so plan to order both. Teachers who read braille and teach early braille readers will get the most from it.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    1. Open the braille volume and look through the unit before teaching so you know the order of lessons.
    2. Pair it with the Student Kit so the lessons match the materials your student has.
  • With a guide
    Read the overview and resources at www.aphbop.org to see how the program fits together. Plan about an hour to get oriented before the first lesson.
  • With professional help
    A teacher of students with visual impairments (TVI) can plan how to pace the unit and adapt lessons to your student's needs.
