Braille Bits

What is Braille Bits?

Braille Bits is a fun and flexible way to dive into the world of braille! Offered by the Iowa Library for the Blind and Print Disabled, this course lets you learn at your own pace, online or by mail, with the support of a Certified Braillist from the Library of Congress. You’ll explore the braille system, and master contractions, and pick up the rules of braille in an engaging and interactive way!

Using the cool PerkyDuck program, you’ll turn your computer keyboard into a braille writer. As you progress, you’ll get personalized feedback, encouragement, and tips from a certified braille expert. There’s no rush—take your time and enjoy learning, with lessons submitted every two weeks (or at your own pace!).
