Note-Taking Strategy to Log School Reading Assignments

My son Liam is 7 years old and in a second grade mainstream classroom. He is deafblind and a braille reader. One of the teacher's expectations for second graders is for them to read at home nightly and record what they read. The record sheet we would get would look something similar to this one that we found on Pinterest.

 

A sheet like this was hard for us to use with the brailler and line everything up perfectly every time. We tried using braille label paper, cutting it out, and sticking it on the reading log form, but that was time consuming and messy, as well as being hard for Liam to do independently. It seemed like it was a lot more work than it needed to be. I knew that I could just fill out the form for Liam using print instead of adding braille, but that goes against my beliefs about accessibility for my son and supporting his independence. I wanted something that would be simple to use when recording Liam's nightly reading and I wanted something that Liam could do independently with little help from me. I discussed my thoughts and possible solutions with a friend (Thanks Charlotte!) and came up with using large note cards and a note card box.
