Synopsis

Hands-on reading aids that bring meaning to early literacy for visually handicapped children.

This practical kit pairs a collection of tactile objects with a concise teacher’s guide to help beginners connect real experiences to reading concepts.

The TAR set is designed as a starter collection that teachers can expand with their own items. It includes sturdy, four-drawer units to organize the objects and empty units ready for growth. The objects were selected after analyzing several basal reading series to support both phonics-based and language-based instruction, and to work with braille materials produced for the classroom.
Guidelines for Teachers accompany the objects and are divided into two sections. The first offers activities to develop reading readiness and early skills, while the second adapts these ideas for visually handicapped students. Teachers can adapt the activities to fit different classrooms and lesson plans, using discussion, description, classification, and dramatization to make reading more meaningful.
What you’ll experience

• A versatile starter set of tactile objects aligned with common reading concepts
• Practical activities to build phonics, comprehension, vocabulary, and sequence skills
• Strategies to relate objects to real-world environments and stories
• Clear guidance for expanding the collection and tailoring lessons to students’ needs

Ideal for teachers and specialists seeking a hands-on approach to developing beginning reading skills in visually impaired learners.
