align=left>In our field, well-meaning teachers
have accidentally stopped teaching reading while
going through the braille alphabet. Teachers
focus a lot upon not using certain passages
because they include dot-5 words, for example,
while the student is focusing upon a contraction
like “ful.” Furthermore, blind students across
the country aren’t learning to read with the
same curriculum as their peers. When blind
students go through the <EM>Building on
Patterns</EM> curriculum, they’re learning to
read and write; however, most of the time it
separates them from their peers during the
language arts block. They are using different
spelling words, stories and many times pulled to
other classrooms. These curricula may be more
comfortable for a sighted person teaching
braille, but they’re not equipping students to
get through the braille code quickly and get on
grade level.</P>

our field, well-meaning teachers have
accidentally stopped teaching reading while
going through the braille alphabet. Teachers
focus a lot upon not using certain passages
because they include dot-5 words, for example,
while the student is focusing upon a contraction
like “ful.” Furthermore, blind students across
the country aren’t learning to read with the
same curriculum as their peers. When blind
students go through the <EM>Building on
Patterns</EM> curriculum, they’re learning to
read and write; however, most of the time it
separates them from their peers during the
language arts block. They are using different
spelling words, stories and many times pulled to
other classrooms. These curricula may be more
comfortable for a sighted person teaching
braille, but they’re not equipping students to
get through the braille code quickly and get on
grade level.</P>
