This paper presents an example of a Library and Information Knowledge lesson carried out in the first grade, which was integrated with the subjects of Slovenian Language and Environmental Education, and focused on the inclusion of a blind female pupil. During the implementation of the lesson, the pupils pursued the objectives of Library and Information Knowledge and of the two aforementioned subjects. During storytelling or reading, special emphasis was placed on activating other senses (touch and smell), which enabled the blind female pupil to experience the objects mentioned in the fairytale in a different way. A stimulating reading environment was created, which did not contain any disruptive factors, while the reading itself focused even more on modulating the volume, on intonation, on changing the voices of literary characters, and on a diverse tempo of reading, in order for the blind pupil to compensate for visual perceptions. Greater emphasis was placed on discussion, because for the blind the word as a bearer of hidden information and emotions, which those of us who can see perceive visually, is that much more important.
