Can you divide lower groupsigns? I thought dividing words was not a common practice when transcribing print into braille? Well, believe it or not, there are occasions when exercise material will show samples of words that have word division, and yes, some of these words contain lower groupsigns. This week’s Dose will provide you with support on how to work through this type of example. Weekly Dose of Braille: Dividing Lower Signs Have a fantastic week! Thank you for your questions! – Denise Bean, Youth Services Librarian

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.
