Weekly Dose of Braille
This morning I received a question and wanted to remind Braille Transcribers about the upper cell.
“Would the lower group sign still be used, if the word is italicized, even though the entire word is used in the lower part of the cell?”
Have an incredible week! Thank you for all you do for others!

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.
