Setting the Stage for Tactile Understanding Kit

Product Description

This set of materials serves as a tool for encouraging and informally assessing the development of early tactile literacy in young children.

Setting the Stage is a set of tangible items and activities that assists young tactile readers in making the transition from the exploration of real objects to the interpretation of two-dimensional representations, both in thermoformed formats and simple raised-line illustrations. A 3-dimensional house model aids with advanced understanding of scale and perspective.
