Cell 5 Heading verses Cell 7 Heading

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.

What a beautiful day a head, however snowflakes are on the horizon in Iowa! This week’s question is one that many of you may ponder, and as braille transcribers, we often seek a straightforward, black-and-white answer in much of our work. 

“Ok, finally going to ask, why are cell 7 headings used at all, and why can’t we just stick to a cell 5 heading all the time?”

Enjoy every inch of the week, and thank you for all you do!

Denise
