Professional guidance helps A teacher can open this guide and begin using it, but a student's braille instruction goes best when a teacher of students with visual impairments helps plan how and when to use it. That is why professional input is recommended rather than required.

What it is

Summary

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

This is the printed teacher's guide for the kindergarten level of the Building on Patterns primary braille literacy program. It's written for the person teaching a young student to read, write, and spell in Unified English Braille (UEB). The program is meant to be used in an inclusive setting, and you'll want the kindergarten student materials as well, since this book is the teacher's side of the program.

  • With a guide
    1. Look over the Building on Patterns overview and resources pages at aphbop.org to see how the pieces of the program fit together.
    2. Plan your lesson sequence around the student's needs and your school schedule. Expect an hour or two for first-time planning.
  • With professional help
    A teacher of students with visual impairments (TVI) can match the program to the child's skills, plan the pacing, and help you pick supporting materials.
