The lower groupsigns, ff, gg, bb or cc, which are sometimes referred to as the sandwich contractions. These lower groupsigns are used periodically, but knowing when to use these contractions, or deciding on which contraction to use, can be helpful and important, especially when you are just learning how to use contractions correctly in a word. — Denise Bean
New Weekly Dose: Sandwich Contraction
For more information and to see past Weekly Dose of Braille topics check out our Weekly Dose of Braille Page.
The Weekly Dose of Braille is created by our Youth Services Librarian and Braille Transcriber, Denise Bean, with the help of our Instructional Materials team. It gives you a taste of braille examples that may be used in worksheets or textbook formatting. It is a miscellaneous mixture of tricky, sometimes challenging circumstances, that a braille transcriber may come across or question. Provided each week is a downloadable PDF file on each topic, a brf file can also be made available for your convenience
