Braille Escape Room ELA Close Reading Helen Keller Louis Braille Biographies

Your students are going to love learning about the braille system, Louis Braille and Helen Keller with this engaging escape room, The World of Braille. After watching the video hook, they'll be ready for close reading the informational text to find all the clues and decode the final mystery phrase. Their completion certificate is a message from a friend, written in braille!

The Escape Room Premise:

• ► Students have received a message from a friend. But they can't read it because it's in braille. In order to read it, students will:
• ► Read and reread the text
• ► Answer the questions
• ► Use the codes in the answers
• ► Discover the history of braille and how it works
• ► Read a message from a friend using a braille system chart.

Students begin with a leveled reading comprehension passage and 16 questions. The World of Braille Escape Room will have your students learning the why braille is still used worldwide.

The reading passage, The World of Braille is an original informative text written by a teacher (me) about how Louis Braille and Helen Keller overcame their loss of vision to leave a lasting legacy. It's at a reading level for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students.
