Literacy learning with a multi-sensory approach. Durable magnetic trays and braille letter/word tiles with print oriented above the braille characters. Support students with any level of vision in literacy instruction of both contracted braille code and tiered reading supports using this bundle that includes consonant blends and digraphs. Use with science of reading-aligned curriculum, to ensure your braille readers are provided with the same access to structured literacy approaches as their sighted peers. Pair with any language arts curriculum. We highly recommend looking in to the natural order of contractions method for efficiently teaching the contracted braille code, and pairing our Fidget-Worthy Contractions for the student to monitor their progress tactually.
