What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · July 6, 2026
This is the print Teacher's Edition for Unit 4 of Building on Patterns (BOP), APH's comprehensive braille literacy curriculum for first graders who are blind or have significant vision loss. It guides classroom teachers and teachers of the visually impaired (TVIs) through structured braille reading and writing instruction aligned with Unified English Braille (UEB) standards. This is a teacher resource only — the companion student materials are sold separately as the First Grade Unit 4 Student Kit. Teachers without prior braille literacy instruction experience will benefit most from pairing this with professional development or mentorship from a credentialed TVI.
