Building on Patterns: Primary Braille Literacy Program: Second Grade: Unit 4 Student Textbook

Summary

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

This is the student-facing braille textbook for Unit 4 of the second-grade level in APH's Building on Patterns (BOP) curriculum — a structured literacy program designed to teach braille reading and writing from the ground up. The braille is formatted in interpoint (printed on both sides of the page, with cells offset so they don't interfere), using UEB (Unified English Braille) contractions. It's intended for blind or low-vision second graders who are learning braille as their primary literacy medium, typically working with a teacher of the visually impaired (TVI) or braille instructor. This is a replacement or standalone copy of the student textbook only — the full BOP Unit 4 kit includes additional teacher and supplementary materials not included here. If your student is starting BOP fresh rather than replacing a lost book, start with the complete kit.
