Description
Summary:ABSTRACT. The development of literacy skill in children with visual impairment involves a structured process concerning the development of pre-acquisitions through different strategies and activities such as using tactile books, reading stories aloud, tactile exploration and concept development in an adequate and responsive learning environment. In the present study we discuss the importance of literacy environment and the opportunities created by first hand experiences which form the foundation for learning, meaningful language development out of real experiences, and interaction with adults or peers. The use of tactile resources and the learning of strategies and procedures in tactile exploration within stages that need to be completed will determine the development of emergent literacy skills in children with blindness.
