Program Dates: October 1, 2009 through November 30, 2009
Purpose: The purpose is two-fold: To increase
parents knowledge about Braille and the
importance of early literacy experiences for
their blind children; and to help parents promote
early literacy skills, a love of reading, and a
positive attitude about Braille through daily
reading with their blind children over a two-month period.
Eligibility: Blind and low-vision children ages
0-7 and older children with developmental delays
who are not yet reading. NOTE: Parental consent
is required for the program if a teacher wishes
to conduct the program with his/her blind student(s).
Materials: Each child will receive: a
print-Braille storybook to keep, a Beanie Baby
stuffed animalthe Reading Pal, and a sheet of
Braille labels with their name in Braille for mom
or dad to cut out and stick onto their favorite
books. For the parents: instructions and tips; a
reading journal booklet and wall chart; and
literature from the NFB and the National Braille
Press about Braille, early literacy, and
resources for buying or borrowing print-Braille
storybooks. In addition, the parents of children
ages 4 and older will receive literature about
how to discuss and explain blindness to children.
Certificates and Prizes: Those who complete the
program will get a certificate and a special
prize provided by the National Organization of
Parents of Blind Children (NOPBC). The prize is
a tactile, print-Braille book that the parent and child can enjoy together.
