Books For The Young Child
Last Updated Jan 6, 2009 04:52 AM
There are also books featuring a push out shape, similar to a jigsaw puzzle. These are strongly coloured, making them easy to see and attractive for the child with vision impairment. The texture of these is firm, making them pleasant to the touch for the child who is blind. Each page can also be used individually as a puzzle.
As well as developing listening, language and concept skills, early exposure to books allows the child to learn about how to hold a book and turn a page.
The child who is blind may benefit from a small marker being placed at the top of each right hand page, so they can feel for that before turning the page.
