BELL (Braille Enrichment for Literacy & Learning) Academy





Attend NFB BELLR Academy In-Home Edition!


The National Federation of the Blind is offering three summer virtual
programs of the NFB BELL Academy to prepare blind and low-vision children to
grow into confident and independent blind people by enhancing their
education.

Take advantage of this opportunity for your child to connect with blind role
models and more by registering for one of the following sessions:

*	June 1, 2020 through June 12, 2020
*	June 22, 2020 through July 3, 2020
*	July 27, 2020 through August 7, 2020

Each registered student will receive the materials to complete all lessons
alongside their parent/guardian via mail. Each day during the two-week
session, there will be two opportunities to connect via web or phone with an
experienced teacher. This gives students and families the chance to ask
questions and get to know each other.

Limited space available. Learn more and register now at
