This activity is designed to motivate students to read simple braille or print word cards by matching a word card to an object.
Materials:
- Cover a box with different textures, for additional interest and motivation. Cut a hole in one end of the box for the student to reach in.
- Word cards in braille and/or print. (The word cards on this page have braille only, but many people prefer to have braille and print together.)
- Corresponding objects for each word card
Procedure:
-
Give the student one card.
-
Ask the student to read the word (e.g. "pot", "top", "pig", etc. Start with all short vowels, and change objects according to student’s level.
-
Once the student has read the word correctly, have her reach inside the box and find the object that goes with the card.
Variations:
Have the students reach in and find the object first and then select the correct word card from an array of two or three word cards.
