Tracking Activities for Pre-Braille Learners
Submitted by Kathryn Sedarati on Dec 26, 2016
The following resources were made at our regular network meeting for sensory specialists from northwest authorities (UK). We gather together every 3 months to share ideas, ask advice and solve problems. For this session we made a range of resources, using tactile materials. There are some great tracking activities for pre-braillists using Wikki Stix, pasta and beads, matching games, tactile picture ideas and lots more. We had lots of fun making them, it got very competitive!
Procedure:
A variety of tactile materials can be glued to index cards or braille papers to work on skills such as:
- tactile matching
- tracking left to right
- patterns
- identifying same and different
- basic concepts (long/short, thick/thin, above/below, etc.)
