What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · July 6, 2026
This is the print teacher's edition for Unit 6 of Building on Patterns (BOP), APH's structured braille literacy curriculum for second graders. It guides educators through systematic braille reading and writing instruction aligned with Unified English Braille (UEB), providing lesson plans, pacing guides, and instructional strategies for teaching students who are blind or have low vision alongside sighted peers. This is the teacher manual only — the student kit for Unit 6 is purchased separately, and the full BOP program spans multiple units across grade levels. Teachers new to braille instruction will get more out of this with orientation from a Teacher of Students with Visual Impairments (TVI), since effective delivery depends on understanding UEB and how braille literacy develops.
