Participating club members will receive:
A print-Braille book and a plush reading pal
Monthly parent e-newsletter promoting tips for early Braille literacy
Quarterly Braille activity sheets for young children
Braille birthday cards for child participants
Access to a network of resources devoted to
serving parents of blind children
Mission of the Program:
Introduce young children and their families to Braille
Provide parents literacy strategies to use with their children
Direct parents to essential resources for
promoting success for their young blind children
Help parents promote early literacy skills, a
love of reading, and a positive attitude about
Braille through daily reading with their blind children
