Pre-braille: Feeling ready to read

Feeling Ready to Read is an exciting pack of materials to develop pre-braille skills. It is based on the well-loved story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.

A comprehensive guide for parents and teachers is included in the pack in print. This guide is also available in braille for parents and teachers whose preferred format is braille. Please note that it is not necessary to order the braille version of the guide if the parent or teacher is a print reader.

There are over 100 fun swell paper exercises to practise such skills as accurate tracking of lines, tactile discrimination, two-handed coordination and developing a light finger touch - all vital pre-requisites for a future braille reader. Also included is a very simple version of the story with tactile illustrations for the children to "read" for themselves.
