Last week I had receive a call from a braille transcriber in Minnesota with a great question.
“I am working on a social studies lesson, and I am not sure if I am able to use the contraction “be” for the abbreviation belg.?”
Hope this week’s Dose will come in handy for you someday. — Denise Bean

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.s
