[blparent] Teaching your children to read and write from a blind this perspective

[Judy Jones]

Hi, Tara,

For starters, we read all kinds of print/braille books with our kids and
kept several on hand.  Some we purchased, some we got from the state
library, some I added braille myself, having read the print with the Optacon

We had the Fisher Price magnetic letters and blackboard school desk-type
toy.

We looked to incorporate any letters any time.  That meant reading the
letters anywhere we could find them.  We also did flash cards with the
stick-on letters.

The trick is immersion.  Use any opportunity to enforce letters.  If you
know your print alphabet and numbers, this will be easy.  If not, some of
these ideas will help you too.

Judy

Dear collective wisdom! How did you guys teach your children to read and
write print? I'm wondering if you use foam letters and numbers? How about
writing? Do you guys use some kind of raised line drawing kit? Thanks for
any help!
