What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · July 5, 2026
This is the complete braille edition of Elevate Science: Earth, a middle school science textbook produced by the American Printing House for the Blind (APH) for students who read braille. APH transcribes and formats these materials to align with the standard curriculum, so a student with blindness or significant vision loss can access the same science content as sighted classmates. At 60 pounds, this is a multi-volume braille set — a substantial physical collection of books, not a single volume or digital file. It's Federal Quota eligible, meaning it can be funded through a school district's APH quota account rather than coming out of a program budget. Because this is a curriculum-grade textbook transcription, the actual product is matched to a specific grade level and course; confirm the edition aligns with your district's adopted Elevate Science curriculum before ordering.
