Our Nemeth Code curriculum is designed to teach blind and low-vision students in pre-kindergarten through second grade how to read and write the Nemeth Code.
The curriculum is aligned with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS Initiative, 2010) and includes hands-on activities and games that reinforce grade-level math concepts and make learning the Nemeth Code fun and meaningful for children of all ages. The curriculum also includes teacher scripts, Braille-ready files for student worksheets, answer keys, data recording sheets, review activities, and assessments.
