<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This depends on who you talk to, but as a very bad
speller and one who strugled with reading as a kid it allows the kid to learn
all the spelling rules before the contractions are introduced. I honestly think
the best way is to teach both together making the child write spelling words in
grade 1, and learning to read both at different times. Others will disagree, but
this is what I've seen work the best. Bran</FONT></DIV>

of Education in your state should have a website where you can find
the curriculum and standards frameworks for all grade levels and
subject areas. 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. At least
it would be something to guide you.<BR><BR>Best,<BR><BR> -----

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

I teach high school, so I am forwarding your letter to Mrs. Woodson,
who is my braille professor at New Orleans, La. I don't think much
of kindergarten is spent on braille anyway. You will be given a
large braille version, if you do. Mrs. Jeri Woodson will tell you
what you need to know. cindy
