[Pibe-division] Is this the way to teach a kindergartener Braille?

[Carrie Gilmer]

All lines were directed to be drawn and circled by the student. Picture of
it taken by mother is attached.

Six years old, albinism, 20/160-200 measured with correction. Please
everyone comment.

I'm attaching a Braille sheet that came home today. I get these many times a
week. Is it strange that Brian is instructed to circle and draw lines? It
appears that he is being directed to approach Braille visually. 

 

Please tell me if this is normal or acceptable for teaching a low-vision
child Braille. Please tell me if this is so far out of the norm that I
should be very concerned. 

 

Thank you!
