[blparent] Helping child with letters when blind

[Veronica Smith]

I don't remember where we got this, but we had this electronic board that
one could feel the letter and when you pressed down on them, it would speak
the name of the letter.  Also below each letter was the letter in Braille. 
Also at the top of the entire board, was a button that slid from side to
side.  One side it would just say the names of each letter, then if you slid
it to the right, it would sing a song about that letter and if you slid it
all the way to the right, it would just play a different song for each
letter with out words.
It was about 24 inches high and 28 inches wide and about an inch or so
thick. Oh yeah, there was also a setting on it that when you pressed a
letter, it would say something like this, create a 3 letter word,

Fridge magnetic letters are great. They are tactile and accessible. We
bought a set of wooden ones from Doug and Mellissa through Amazon for Penny.
They were only about six or seven dollars, and Penny loves them.
Of course, you will need to know what the letters feel like to identify
them.

I help my child as well.  I do have someone who helps with tracing letters
since I have no clue how if some one knows how I can do this as a blind
person let me know.
