Fidget-Worthy Contractions V1. 198 pieces with tray

$140.00

This durable set of braille links provides for modular practice of all UEB contractions. Pair as a manipulative for pre-teaching the contractions as they arise naturally in the learners’ general ed language arts curriculum, so that the student is able to stay on grade level, learning the same content as their peers in the classroom, but using braille. These manipulatives also work well for a student to ‘own their learning’ through monitoring their progress through the contracted code.

Links feature joints that fit together end-to-end. Words and parts of words can be connected to each other in any order. Small print in a contrasting color is found on the top surface of each link, with the word or contraction written out. Made to order. Please allow up to 1 week lead time prior to shipping.

  • Tray to hold 4 rows of links
