Product Description

Building on Patterns: Kindergarten, Second Edition is a comprehensive literacy program designed to teach young children to read and write using braille. It is aligned with current grade-level literacy standards and built around authentic children’s literature with the lessons providing a balance between fiction and informational text for young students. The program also includes extensive phonics activities, the reading and writing of numbers, an introduction to punctuation, and a focus on meaningful student writing using invented spelling.

Each lesson begins with learning objectives and is followed by instructional content sections, including Speaking and Listening, Phonological Awareness, Reading, Writing, Specialized skills (such as tactile graphics and concept development), and Enrichment. In addition, Expanded Core Curriculum (ECC) activities that support developing ECC skills, including Recreation and Leisure, Concept Development, and Orientation and Mobility, are embedded throughout the lessons.
