[blparent] any tips on reading books to small children?

[Judy Jones]

This is one of the many advantages of braille.

When our kids were growing up, actually from the time they were babies, we 
started collecting print/braille books.  They are marvelous, especially the 
Twin Vision books, as they have captions for the blind person, parent or 
child, that describe the pictures, so you can talk about the pictures as you 
read.  We held our kids on our laps and read to them from many a 
print/braille book.

If you are not a braille reader, try the audio books so you both can be read 
to.

Our girls are grown, but I've kept some of their favorite print/braille 
books.  Some are ones that we bought but I adapted myself with braille clear 
overlays.

Subject: [blparent] any tips on reading books to small children?

Hello all,I am hoping someone on this list can give me some information on
if there is any  way you may know, to read books  to my 3 year old
grandson?  I am wondering if there is any kind of software or something, 
for
instance, that I can have a blue tooth device in my ear that reads to me so 
that
I can read to him.  I take care of him a lot and he always brings me  books
that he wants me to read to him.  When my children were small, I  still had
enough vision to read, but now it is truly a problem.  Any  suggestions
would be much appreciated. Thanks.
