LET’S READ

contracted to recognize and know the correct spelling of the words.

contractions being used.

INTRODUCTION
Braille Reading and Writing is taught first in FILIPINO. The words, phrases
and sentences presented to a visually impaired pupil are spelled-out or not
contracted. After all the lessons are taken up during the beginning Reading and
Writing in FILIPINO, the visually impaired pupil can now start to learn to read in
ENGLISH. Again, the words, phrases and sentences are spelled-out or not
contracted. If there are contractions in the English Braille Code used in the reading
exercises, the words are not yet contracted, they should be uncontracted or
spelled-out.
The Reading exercises/materials included in the Resource Guide are used by

visually impaired pupils who are in the PRE-SCHOOL levels as beginners in
English Braille Reading and Writing.
The words/vocabularies in English Braille Reading presented are the same

with the BEC Curriculum in English (Reading) which include:
Level III – A. CVC words

B. CVVC words
Level IV – C. Words with Consonant blends/clusters
D. Words with digraphs
Level V – E. Words with long vowel sounds
The words used for beginning readers should be spelled-out or not

contracted to recognize and know the correct spelling of the words. Many visually
impaired children are poor in spelling because of the contractions being used.
Note: The PRELIMINARY READING SERIES - “LET’S READ” (Levels III,

IV, V) can be requested from the Resources For The Blind and Philippine
