Number Above Sentence
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.
Deciding whether or not to include a transcriber’s note is usually pretty straightforward. If any changes are made to the print, then yes—a transcriber’s note is required. But what happens when you’re not sure if a transcriber note is the right solution? That’s when we start to question our next step.
Enjoy this week’s Dose—sometimes the answer is simpler than we think.
QUESTION: “This is odd, but I am working on a print language worksheet, and the number of the question is written above the sentence, in braille can I just place the number in front of the question in braille? Or does it need a transcriber note to explain?”
Happy 4th of July to you and your family!
Denise
