Professional guidance helps This is a guide written for teachers, so it fits best when a professional uses it. A family could read it, but the lessons and the choices about how to teach them are easier with a teacher who knows the program and the child's needs.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

This is the reference volume for the Building on Patterns Pre-K math program, produced in braille across four volumes. It covers the research behind the program, instructional practices, standards, and developmentally appropriate practices, plus indices that help you find content in the Pre-K lessons. It's written for the adult who teaches the lessons, so a teacher of students with visual impairments or a classroom teacher who reads braille will get the most from it. It's a companion to the lesson materials, not a stand-alone course.
