If you look at the Kindergarten level, you will see what all Kindergarteners in your state are expected to learn during the school year. In California,
the Braille standards are the same as the state standards for all students in the public school system. If you can't find the document for your state, let me know and I can send the California standards.

charset="iso-8859-1"<BR><BR>I am confused as to your comment "I don't think much of Kindergarten is spent on braille". Well, of course it is! All the sighted children are learning how to read and write their print letters, and learning their sounds etc. So a blind student who needs braille also needs to be learning his/her letters in braille. A blind child should learn their literacy skills at the same rate as their sighted peers. The goal for braille is always to be on par with their classmates. In todays world of education, many kids are reading by the time they start first grade. Very different from 26 years ago when I first started teaching. Always aim high!<BR>I also agree with checking out the TSBVI website - there is a wealth of information there. <BR>Welcome to the wonderful world of teaching braille!! What a joy to see fingers flying across a page.<BR><BR><BR>________________________________<BR><BR>From: <A
