[Jasmine Kotsay]

Hi,
	The way my Braille teacher used to do it is read with one, 
then the other group.

Hi Pauline,
I’m glad you brought this up.  I’m facing a slightly similar 
problem at the moment.  Right now 2 of my classes have 3-5 
students each.  All students are at different levels in the 
braille code.  None of them are squeamish about reading aloud 
which is nice but I’m finding myself pulled in too many 
directions in regards to what to teach.  In my largest classes 
I’m trying to figure out the best way to organize my time so that 
I can either teach an informative group lesson or give everyone 
enough/equal individual instruction.  Any thoughts or advice 
would be greatly welcome.

Best Wishes,
Domonique Lawless

 I'm replying to an old message on this subject.  I missed any 
responses that came in about the matter of teaching multiple 
students Braille who are at different ability levels.  Also, 
since the room is set up where students and teacher are sitting 
pretty close to each other, many students are uncomfortable 
reading  aloud with someone other than myself or the substitute 
teacher present.

 Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I happende to find this 
message during inbox clean out.

 Hello Everyone,

 I am asking if anyone can share their successful practices in 
teaching numerous students (at various levels) the Literary 
Braille Code at the same time.  I have 2 different classes where 
I teach 2 to 3 students during the same hour.  These students' 
abilities range from those inconsistent with the Braille alphabet 
to those who have had some Braille instruction & know some signs 
but need lots of reading practice to remember them consistently.  
I essentially have 60 mins on a good day, so if I could teach a 
lesson that hits all abilities it would be great.  Recently, we 
been reading very low level books & and I tell them the 
contractions as they come up.  The stories are repetitive and 
there getting faster, but not quick enough.

 Thanks for any help you can give.  Having taught in a 
residential school, but responsible for high school English 
content and always having taught, my students were mostly 
one-on-one or at least or closer levels.

 Thanks,
 Krystal
