Texas Sensory Support Network (TxSSN): "Beginning with Braille" Book Study Online - 29086
Students learning to read braille need explicit instruction in all aspects of reading, and they require specially designed strategies and materials to promote reading success. Through this book study, "Beginning with Braille: Firsthand Experiences with a Balanced Approach to Literacy," teachers of students with visual impairments (TVIs) will explore and learn key strategies and resources for instructing reading and writing braille. Participants will read the book, review websites, and post assignments.
