2. Student will understand and demonstrate how to braille the following
letters:

Intro

We will begin this lesson by assessing the students prior knowledge

and reviewing the letters in braille that were previously learned.

I Do, We Do, You Do

1. Student will review known letters in braille. The student will type
the letters with a Perkins Brailler. (5 Minutes)
a. Teacher will observe the student as they type the
letters, checking each letter for accuracy.
2. Teacher will review errors made during the alphabet braille
review. (5 Minutes)
a. Teacher will discuss with the student why their
answers were wrong, and help them to fix their
errors.
b. The student will retype their mistakes in order to
practice typing the letters in the correct format.
3. The teacher will introduce new letters to the student. (10
Minutes)
a. The student will practice typing the newly
learned letters.
b.
The teacher will guide the student when
necessary and assist the student in correcting their
mistakes.
4. Simon Says: Make Braille Activity (10 minutes)
a. Explain the directions to the student.
b. Set up for the activity. Put buckets on the floor to resemble a
braille cell. Place a basket in front of the buckets (closest to where
the student is standing) and put the six bouncy balls inside of it. Next,
have the child stand a couple feet away from the buckets. Give the
student directions in a similar fashion to that of the Simon Says
game.
For example: Simon Says...hop on one foot to the braille cell

buckets and make the letter m.

The student will then follow the directions, hop on one foot, and use
the bouncy balls to make the given letter. This activity will help the
student to gain a better understanding of what each letter in the
alphabet should look like when typed in braille, while working on their
listening/comprehension skills.
Having a clearer understanding of the placement of the dots for each
braille letter can help the student with reading braille in future
activities.
