Weekly Dose of Braille
Received a great question last week and wanted to share it this week. Contractions are used to simplify and make good use of spacing. However, what if the first letter of a contraction is in bold? How would I show emphasis for the one letter? Especially if the word is an Alphabetic Wordsign.
Don’t worry—this week’s Dose will clearly explain everything you need to do.
Weekly Dose: First Letter of Contraction is in Bold
Thank you all for your incredible dedication to creating high-quality braille. Your commitment has a positive ripple effect, supporting the braille readers who receive and read it.

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.
