APH’s Early Braille Trade Books Project combines commercially available books with braille labels for beginning readers. These kits include books, braille labels, and access to an interactive website, www.tech.aph.org/ebt/.
This fun collection of emergent level, Rigby PM fiction stories support the development of essential literary skills. Rigby PM Books are known for their meaningful stories that present a clear climax and resolution. Titles hook children with real story lines, and the steady growth of sentence structure scaffolds text complexity for incremental reading success.
