One of the first and most important things to remember when introducing books and literacy experiences to a young child with a visual impairment is that the child is a child first.

Sharing quiet time together with a family member, teacher or other special person enjoying stories that are funny or interesting is something that all of us love, regardless of our age or the amount of vision we have.
