What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · July 6, 2026
This is the print Teacher's Edition for Unit 2 of Building on Patterns, APH's structured braille literacy curriculum for first grade — specifically the unit tied to the Going and Doing Student Kit. It's designed for teachers of visually impaired students who are learning braille as their primary reading medium, providing lesson plans, instructional guidance, and pacing for systematic braille literacy instruction. This is a teacher reference book, not a student-facing material — you'll need the corresponding student kit separately to deliver instruction. The curriculum follows a scope and sequence based on the Expanded Core Curriculum for blind students, so it's most effective when used by a Teacher of the Visually Impaired (TVI) familiar with braille instruction rather than a general education teacher working independently.
