 BRAILLE ENRICHMENT FOR LITERACY AND LEARNING Summer Program - July 15-26th
Are you the parent, guardian, or teacher of a low vision child ages 4-11 who would benefit from learning Braille? We have a wonderful opportunity for them this summer!
The BELL summer program is a two-week day program (weekends not included) designed to offer pre-kindergarten and elementary age children (ages 4-11) who are beginning Braille readers an opportunity to be immersed in Braille and increase the use of tactile skills for reading Braille. In this program children will receive Braille instruction daily, develop their use of tactile skills for reading, and learn alternative nonvisual techniques through arts and crafts, games, field trips, and other fun activities. The student does not have to be receiving Braille in school at this time.
