Crossed-Out Letters
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.
I really enjoyed your question from last week, it was spot on, especially when we’re dealing with the kind of text often found in exercise materials. For today’s Dose, we’re diving right into the source! This one comes straight from Braille Formats: Principles of Print-to-Braille Transcription, 2016, Section 17: Spelling Lists and Activities.
Here is the question.
“Working on a worksheet and it shows part of the letters in the word being crossed-out, what should I do?”
Thank you for your hard work and dedication! Your skill truly makes a meaningful difference in the life of every braille reader.
Denise
