Braille literacy support
Braille literacy often starts with exposure — not formal lessons. For many families, the first step is simply giving children access to braille books, labels, and tactile materials so literacy feels normal and part of everyday life.
Starting with access
Explain that having braille in the home helps children build familiarity with tactile reading, even before they understand it. Mention that exposure helps build curiosity, confidence, and early literacy foundations.
