Space, space and more space. Now deciding on how much space in braille can be a different story. Often times, print worksheets, instructional material can show unnecessary space between words. Certain types of fonts, such as script, create questionable spacing. In braille, always keep it simple for the ease of the braille reader and most importantly be consistent.
Next week, we will dive deeper into the print spacing and braille formatting used in tables. — Denise Bean
New Weekly Dose: Space in General
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.
