Braille in easy steps is a teaching course designed for latecomers (pupils between the ages of about 10 to 14) who are literate in print but are transferring to braille. No previous knowledge of braille is assumed, and the emphasis is on reading.
The material is introduced in small steps, with practice reading material in the form of quizzes, activities and stories. Some of the longer stories are accompanied by tactile maps and plans to add interest, and develop search and scan techniques. The capital letter sign is used throughout.
The Braille in easy steps teachers' handbook must be ordered separately. It includes the complete text of the braille course books, in addition to information on teaching braille to older pupils and details of the order of braille sign introduction.
The Braille in easy steps replacement pack contains books 1 to 4. As these early volumes are heavily used, they may need replacing before the rest of the course.
