Literacy Ideas for Children with Visual Impairments and Multiple Disabilites
tory boxes are a great way to enhance your child's literacy experiences. A story box is a simple collection of objects that go along with the storyline. The objects act like pictures to a blind child. They can make a story become alive and interactive for those students, that don't benefit from pictures. Story boxes are easy to make using objects from you child's toy boxes, or from your own household supplies. First, find a story your child likes. A good place to start is with early literacy books that are rhythmic and predicatable (Eric Carle is a great resource). I fyou are unfamiliar with early literacy books, click on the reading list link in the left column. Next find objects that corelate with the story. For example, if you are reading the book, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, you could include many of the objects the mouse finds along his travels, such as a glass, a straw, some cookies, a blanket for his nap......... Be creative. There is no right or wrong way to spice up a book! The only rule is to make it fun.
