What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · July 6, 2026
This is a kit of early-reader trade books from the Rigby PM Platinum series, transcribed into Uncontracted Unified English Braille (UEB) — the current standard braille code used in the United States. Designed for young braille readers just building their literacy skills, these books give blind and low-vision students access to the same leveled reading materials their sighted peers use in early elementary classrooms. The kit provides physical braille books ready to use, so a student, teacher, or TVI (Teacher of Students with Visual Impairments) can incorporate them into guided reading instruction without additional transcription. Worth knowing before ordering: APH has noted this product line is discontinued due to supply chain issues, so availability is limited and replacement stock is unlikely.
