What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · July 6, 2026
This is the print teacher's edition for Unit 2 of the second-grade level of Building on Patterns (BOP), APH's structured braille literacy curriculum for early elementary students. It guides teachers and vision specialists through lessons that teach reading and writing in Unified English Braille (UEB) alongside sighted classroom peers, following an inclusive model. This is the instructor guide only — the student kit for this unit is sold separately, and you'll need both to run the program. Teachers of the visually impaired (TVIs) or special education staff are the primary users; this isn't a resource for general classroom teachers without braille training.
