What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · July 6, 2026
This is the print teacher's edition for Unit 3 of Building on Patterns (BOP), APH's structured braille literacy curriculum for first grade. Teachers and vision specialists use it to guide instruction in Unified English Braille (UEB) for students who are blind or have significant visual impairment learning to read braille alongside sighted peers in inclusive settings. This is a teacher-facing manual only — it does not include student materials, which are sold separately as the First Grade Unit 3 Student Kit (UEB). Educators unfamiliar with braille or the BOP scope and sequence will get the most out of this with support from a Teacher of Students with Visual Impairments (TVI), as the curriculum assumes working knowledge of UEB and structured literacy instruction.
