Research Study Group
What We Created: Through a small grant from the University of South Carolina we have developed 2 units that use authentic science data about endangered species while teaching students how to accurately locate and use information in line plots, pictographs, and bar graphs. Students will listen to a narrator read information as they explore, locate, and use information on tactile graphics.
Why We Created the Materials: When braille readers have a systematic approach to use when locating and interpreting information in tactile graphics, they can engage more efficiently in learning.
Time frame: The study runs from February – May 2023
Please read the flyers for additional information. If you and your student are interested in participating in the study, please complete the Building Literacy Consent Form (below). Please also share the student recruitment flyer with the parents/guardians of your student.
