Dual Vision Braille Books

Learning to Read is Fun With Dual Vision Braille Books

Dual Vision Braille Books are accessible books with the braille text interlined with the printed words.

The print is written above the braille so that when someone is reading the braille, their fingers do not obstruct the corresponding print words and a sighted person, like a parent or teacher can follow along.

While this Dual Vision approach is more expensive to produce than braille-only books, it provides an ideal solution for new braille readers just learning to read, track, and sound out words.

By having the large print text visible alongside the braille, parents or guardians, teachers, and sighted classmates can easily track which words the student is reading in real time. They can then provide joint reading support when needed. This allows for a smoother literacy journey for everyone.

Learning to read is a crucial milestone, and it requires support from both parents or guardians and teachers. When a child struggles with a word or mispronounces it, immediate feedback and correction are essential to reinforce proper reading habits and prevent incorrect patterns from forming.

In an educational setting, using a Dual Vision Book ensures that students with visual impairments have equal access to instructional materials alongside their peers. Teachers and educators can use these books to deliver inclusive lessons, fostering a supportive and equitable learning environment for all learners, regardless of their visual abilities.

For pupils who read braille, the task of following along and correcting errors becomes more challenging for sighted family members and educators.

However, our combination print-braille books bridge this gap by allowing sighted individuals to follow along and provide guidance as the student reads the braille portion. This invaluable resource empowers parents and educators to support the early reading journey of visually impaired little ones effectively.

For kids with low vision, or learners who read using both braille and print, having the two formats interlined provides crucial flexibility. They can fluidly switch between reading methods depending on the context, their level of eye strain, the lighting conditions, or which mode best aids comprehension of certain passages.

This hybrid approach prevents them from having to choose one format definitively.

The combined text also permits important engagement from sighted parents or guardians, teachers, classroom aides, teaching assistants, or peer reading partners. They can follow along with the large print as the child reads the mirrored braille text, providing supportive monitoring.

When youngsters get stuck on a word, the shared, corresponding print allows the adult to easily identify the trouble-spot and provide phonetic guidance.

In group settings like classrooms, these Dual Vision Books enable more dynamic universal design reading experiences. The large print component gives the instructor the ability to read aloud from the same pages students are following in contracted braille.

This synchronization reinforces literacy skills through multiple modes of intake.

Whether reading independently, alongside a parent or guardian, or within an educational environment, GetBraille’s signature combination braille and large print books empower youth of all abilities to soak up knowledge.
