 Rating:  - Great for my kidsWe adopted a blind child and my other kids (5 and 9, sighted)got this book as a gift at our new babies adoption shower. They enjoyed it so much they finished it in 2 days and can read all the letters by sight now. I know grade one is so basic, like others have stated, but my kids had fun and got to learn the concept of braille and how their new sister will read.

The only raised dots on my copy were the alphabet on the back cover. I think that an improvement to this book would be if there were some pages devoted to raised dots. That way, this book would be an even better and effective way to learn braille. |
