Alphabetic Reference Within A Worksheet
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.
Isn’t it funny how easy it is to overthink what should be easy? Do you ever find yourself second-guessing every little decision as a Braille Transcriber? Oh, I sure do! It’s probably why we’ve earned a reputation as the ultimate detectives, always ready to question, analyze, and solve the mystery at hand. Enjoy this week’s question, it just might come in handy for you!
“Working on teacher assigned worksheet in science class for a student, how would you recommend transcribing when all the beginning words are in italics, it this important?”
Thank you, Sam for the question. Remember, keep questioning, it is at that point, you become better!
Denise
