“Hi Denise, working on a literature worksheet, in 3 of the questions there are answer options making reference to the use of sample words written in dialect. Can you help, I am not sure how to transcribe these words?”
Thank you for your question! First of all, what is a dialect? A dialect is a form of a language that is specific to that region or group often used within literature writing. Read this week’s dose to find out more.
Happy Holidays to all of you and an enormous thank you for transcribing and proofreading braille for others to read! Priceless!
There will not be a Weekly Dose of Braille due to the holiday on December 25th.

New Weekly Dose: Guidelines for use of Dialect
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.
