Place counters inside the squares of Braille graph paper and have the child move fingers across them so lightly that they are not moved outside the squares Place cotton balls beneath the child’s fingers and have them move across the page Move counters on a surface by touching them lightly Tracking Track along lines of counters, beads, buttons and pasta, differentiating between and feeling for requested button shape or odd one out. Track across lines of yarn, string, ribbon, straws, wikki stix Finding longest, shortest, track down page using scissor action Track across lines of Braille cells picking out odd one out. 5
