The NFB Braille Reading Pals Club is an early literacy program that
encourages parents to read daily with their blind or low-vision child
(ages infant to seven).



Sponsored in part by the National Organization of Parents of Blind
Children (NOPBC) and the American Action Fund for Blind Children and
Adults (AAF)



Participating club members will receive:

* A print-Braille book and a plush reading pal

* Monthly parent e-newsletter promoting tips for early Braille literacy

* Quarterly Braille activity sheets for young children

* Braille birthday cards for child participants

* Access to a network of resources devoted to serving parents of blind
children



Mission of the Program:

* Introduce young children and their families to Braille

* Provide parents literacy strategies to use with their children

* Direct parents to essential resources for promoting success for their
young blind children

* Help parents promote early literacy skills, a love of reading, and a
positive attitude about Braille through daily reading with their blind
children
