Phase 1:Intended Curriculum

Week of:

Subject/Grade Level Braille


Reading/6th grade

Standards and Elements:CC6RL2: Read with sufficient accuracy and fluency to support comprehension.
Learning Targets: The student will be able to use good braille reading techniques to increase reading
fluency.
Braille Goal: N. Ross will increase her tactile Braille reading skills by the following objectives.
Objective 1: N. Ross will tactically increase her tactile Braille reading speed to 50 wpm, by her next
annual review date of 3/3/2017. (Baseline: 0 wpm)

Phase 2: Delivered Curriculum


Activator
Play the Unread Game (To create that Braille Reading can be
fun!)
Instructions on Playing the Game:Place One braille paper on a table or on your lap
so that your shoulders, arms, wrists, hands, and fingers can all be involved in
reaching the braille pages comfortably.
Relax! When you are perfectly relaxed and comfortable, follow these steps:
Step 1: Un-reading: Spend some time with all your fingers on both hands spread
out, just touching all the dots on the page (or pages) in front of you, moving rapidly
in any way you want to--up, down, in circles, diagonally, ... whatever feels like fun.
Step 2: Zip around the pages, with your fingers, hands, wrists, arms, and shoulders
all involved in the game. If you pick up any words while playing this unreading
game, you aren't moving fast enough! Zip! Have fun, like a kid touching a braille
book for the first time!
Step3: Play this game for a minute, with your only object being to touch all the dots
with some fingers on all the pages you can get to in one minute. Use all the fingers
on both your hands,
Step: 4 After a rest period of a minute or two, do the unreading again for another
minute.

Work Session

Learning Proper Tracking Techniques to Create Fluent Braille Readers through


Direct Instruction and Practice
Verbalize/Demonstrate by physical prompting on student if necessary to teach
tracking techniques to increase Braille fluency.
Step 1: Tell the student they should sit at a table at the correct height, so their
forearms are at a right angle to their upper arms.
Step 2: Finger pads should be in contact with the braille.
Step 3: Fingers should be aligned straight
Step 4: Ideally all fingers should be used, stress not fingertips due to scrubbing.
Step 5: A smooth left to right tracking movement
Step 6: Teach student to use each hand independently, then use both hands together
when practicing.
Step 7: Splitting of hands at the end of the line. Have the student continue reading
with the right hand, while the left one goes down (tracking) to the next line.
Step 8: Practice the techniques taught Steps 1-7, by having the student reading long
lines all the same length, short lines, lines with spaces, lines with extra spaces
between words, and with tracking lines between each letter.

Use a book from class

Student will have a self-rubric to record fluency rate

by using a timer. Will check to see if there is an


reading scheme or novel of
increase in fluency rate each 9 weeks.
student's choice, perhaps one
that is familiar.
Keep an eye on student's
hand movements to ensure they
are keeping up: adjust
speed.When it is the
student's turn to read, give
enough prompts to maintain
fluency and confidence.
Gradually increase
opportunity for sustained
reading.
Need to regularly record
reading speed and continue to
encourage pupil to aim to read
faster, discuss openly if speed
drops when difficulty
increases,
Miscue analysis highlights
common errors so that follow
up work can be targeted as
appropriate also shows if child
has good comprehension as
miscues will hopefully be more
in context.
Record accuracy rates,
aiming for 90% plus
When student achieves
consistently high accuracy give
opportunity for silent reading
so that sub-vocalization does
not become an ingrained habit
that would keep reading speed
low.
