Weekly Dose of Braille
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.
This week’s question:
” I am working on a language paper and there is a section about syllables, a hyphen is used after an alphabetic wordsign, I am guessing the alphabetic wordsign would not be used, even though it is considered standing alone next to a hyphen.”
This week’s Dose:
Alphabet wordsigns standing alone are contracted, but remember, standing alone as the word it represents.
New Weekly Dose: Alphabetic Wordsign and Syllables
Thanks, Denise Bean
