A family member can read it, but a teacher of students with visual impairments will get the most out of it. They can adjust the lessons to fit the child's braille skills and needs.

What it is

Summary

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

This is the print teacher's edition for Unit 1 of the second grade level of Building on Patterns, a primary braille literacy program. It comes with a Reference Volume that helps a teacher understand how the program works and how to teach a young braille reader. It's written for the teacher, not the student, so a child would also need the program's student materials. Building on Patterns is designed to be inclusive, and more information is available on the program's overview and resources pages.
