Integrating LEGO Braille Bricks with writing and reading has been highly successful with my 5 year old braille learner, Lily.

Figure 1 – Child's LEGO baseboard set up with ‘d’ bricks, with several models (dinosaur, dog, doll) on the table. On the right are flashcards in Braille

They have been used incidentally initially, when Lily’s class were doing their letter of the day, along with a piaf/braille alphabet book and a collection of objects matching the sound.

Child is learning the letter ‘i’. LEGO Braille Bricks are set up on a baseboard and she is brailling these on the Mountbatten.

Child is on all fours on the Twister game mat on the floor. She is making an ‘i’ with her body. Her legs are on Dot 2, and her arms in Dot 4. Each dot is made from a different texture fabric.
