About this title

Synopsis

A Parents' Guide is written for parents of children who are blind or visually impaired. It is written to help you--the parents--start your young children on the road to literacy. Because we all learn by doing, this book is experience based, presenting opportunities for you and your child to "experience literacy" in a variety of ways, such as touch, sight, and sound and in a variety of settings. And above all--because learning can be fun and having fun makes learning easier--the experiences are as warm and welcoming as they are serious and necessary. The authors have many practical suggestions, creative ideas, and educational strategies, which they present in an easy-to-read, jargon-free style.
