In order to foster literacy learning for students who are blind or who are deaf-blind, they need to have access to a changing assortment of accessible books. The books described below have been brailled and adapted with tactuals and are currently being used by students with deaf-blindness in North Carolina model classrooms. All directions contain a materials shopping list and page-by-page directions that includes photographs. The books themselves need to be purchased separately.The below books are appropriate for all students, but have been specifically adapted for students with the most significant disabilities, including deaf-blindness.We have been making the Start-to-Finish Literacy Series (Don Johnston, Inc.) paperback books accessible to the students with signficant visual impairments in the deafblind model demonstration project by adding tactual features. Below are directions on how to tactualize the books for your own use.Plants-Science & Surroundings Kit Recycling-Cash in the Trash Kit Let's Do Plants Snowballs in the Desert A Person or a Plant?

Making Story Bags or Story Boxes•Story bags or story boxes are a collection of materials that are used to demonstrate the story when reading a particular book, whether it is a print picture book or one with braille added to the pages. When collecting materials to put in the story bag or box, look for things that your child will enjoy touching. You don't have to have every object named in the book, but focus on a collection of objects that are important in acting out the story. You might have a book about a boy who lives on a farm and enjoys playing in the mud in the barnyard, feeding hay to the horses, collecting eggs from the chickens, and eating tomatoes from the garden. It won't be possible to get the animals in the story for your story box of course. But you might get some hay, a hard-boiled egg, and a tomato. As you and your child read the book together, you can have her pull each object out of the box as you read about it. She can act out the story using the objects.•When acting out a story, avoid using plastic objects such as pretend fruit or miniature animals. For a child who is blind, there is little or no resemblance between a miniature plastic horse and the large, warm, breathing creature covered with hair that is the real animal. Not only that, but feeling the difference between a plastic tomato and a plastic apple may be difficult for many children. It is best to use real objects whenever possible. If you need to use something that is not real—such as a stuffed mouse rather than a real one—talk with your child about the difference between "pretend" and "real."

A child’s trip to an amusement park is recreated tactilely using items from the trip (e.g., part of the popcorn box, the wristband to get him on rides, a
straw for the drink that was purchased, a small souvenir). The child’s grandparent discusses the event while encouraging the child to manipulate each object in the "story or memory" box. Each
item is labeled in braille and print.

What is an "experience book?“
•Experience books are similar to traditional books in that they: •tell a story;•are tied to specific language/communication;•allow a child to share, re-create, and review the same story over and over again with many different people, whether at home or at school; and•are the basis for conversation.•Experience books differ from traditional books in that:•Experience books are created with a specific reader in mind. •The story is based on an experience or interest of the target reader. •The objects included in the experience book are particular to the experience or interest of the student for whom the book is made. •The words written (and, when appropriate, brailled) on the pages are chosen for a particular student.
