[nobe-l] Writing on the board

Hello Jasmine,
Although the foam letters are a good way for a blind person to learn their
print letters, it isn't necessary for a blind teacher to actually write on
the board, since there are plenty of alternatives.
While they can work to use with individual students, these letters aren't
large enough to ensure that all the students can easily see them, especially
those sitting toward the back of the room. Furthermore, since they're not
magnetic, it isn't possible to arrange them on the board since they don't
stick.
Best,
Heather

Hello,
Another way that you could show signs and symbols on the board is to find
them in foam, such as foam alphabet puzzle's. I'm not sure about finding the
numbers and signs in this type of format, but when I was little, I had a set
of foam alphabet puzzle's that I would use to learn how to both recognize
the letters of the alphabet. I learned how to write my name and most other
words in print, even if they are not as legible as someone who can see. Hope
this helps,
Sincerely,
Jasmine
