What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · July 6, 2026
This is the parent/family companion booklet for APH's Building on Patterns literacy curriculum, designed for children who are blind or have low vision at the prekindergarten level. Building on Patterns is a foundational braille literacy program, and this booklet helps caregivers understand how to reinforce literacy concepts at home — bridging what's happening in the classroom or with a teacher of the visually impaired (TVI) to everyday family routines. It's a printed guide, not a standalone curriculum; it's meant to work alongside the main instructional materials and specialist-led instruction. At under $15, it's an inexpensive complement to the broader program, but families who don't already have access to the full Building on Patterns curriculum and a qualified TVI won't get much use from this booklet on its own.
