Two and Three Children can now do more writing on their own. They will write so others can read what they have written, and they often choose what they want to write.
Technological devices are available to help students with their writing.
The vision teacher has primary responsibility for teaching the braille code and braille writing. He or she has specific knowledge of the braille code and can assist the regular class teacher with instruction related to the acquisition of spelling, punctuation, grammar, paragraphing and capitalization skills. Once the student is physically able to hold a stylus correctly they should be introduced to instruction in using the Pocket Slate and Stylus. The Pocket Slate and Stylus is useful for short note taking activities or for recording brief bits of information. Its compactness and ease of portability make it a handy writing tool equivalent to keeping having a pencil and paper in a pocket or purse.
