Subject: [Pibe-division] Questions about Braille instruction
Hello,
I am a beginning Braille teacher. I was wondering where can I find information about time line for braille instruction? By the end of kindergarten, what should the a student be expected to have covered?
Jackie Anderson
A long journey begins with one step
There is a literacy crisis in America.
Only 10% of children who are blind are
taught to read Braille.
