Double and Single Spacing
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.
A lot of thought went into this question, always remember, all of your questions are great questions. Here you go!
“I am preparing a set of six braille booklets for a kindergarten student. The material in the booklets is double-spaced for this age group. I need to know the correct formatting for the title page: Should the braille on the title page also be double-spaced, or single-spaced?”
The answer is clear as the nose on your face, or by looking up the rules in one of our favorite places, Braille Formats: Principles of Print-to-Braille Transcription 2016. Remember an updated copy was provided in 2024.
Have an incredible week, stay focused and stay tune for next week’s Dose! Thank you for your question!
Denise
