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> ----- Original

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:
