What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · July 5, 2026
This kit pairs mainstream nonfiction picture books from the Rigby Early Literacy series with added braille overlays, allowing a beginning reader who is blind or has low vision to follow along using Unified English Braille (UEB) contracted format. It's designed for early childhood through early elementary students who are just learning to read braille alongside sighted peers using the same books. You get a set of adapted trade books ready to use — no additional materials required, though a teacher of the visually impaired (TVI) would typically guide instruction. These have been discontinued by APH due to supply chain issues, so availability is limited and replacement copies will not be produced.
