[blparent] [blaring] Homeschooling as a Blind Parent

[Misty Dawn Bradley]

Thanks for the info, Bran.
I also know it can be done. I did a little tutoring with first graders and 
used a lot of hands-on materials so I could feel what the students were 
doing. I did math, reading, and spelling, although I am not sure about 
writing. My daughter knows how to write her letters, but I wonder how I 
would be able to tell if she wrote the words with the wrong spelling or if 
she needed work on her handwriting, etc?
Thank you,
Misty

Hi, Frankly blind people can teach reading and writing I'm a teacher with a
degree in elementary education that runs a childcare and has homeschooled
several peoples children plus taught in the classroom.

Now for the original posters questions. there is a yahoo group called blind
homeschooler and a face book group with the same name.

I would be happy to talk with you on ways it can be done.

Bran

Is she sighted?  I'm not doubting your abilities at all.  I'm just curious
how you intend to go about teaching your daughter to read and write and
such.  Frankly, I'm very interested in knowing the details of how you plan
to do it because some of your methods might help me supplement my child's
education at home, even though she's attending public school.

Hi everyone,
Does anyone on this list homeschool their children? I have a 6 year old
child, and I am planning to homeschool her starting next week. I have
already withdrawn her from the school she was enrolled in and researched the
laws relating to homeschooling in Texas and am looking into what method or
sources for teaching her I will use. I would like to know if there are also
blind parents homeschooling their children? I am totally blind and will be
homeschooling her on my own as a single parent. Also, are there blind
homeschoolers groups I could join for blind parents?
Thank you,
Misty
