Words vs. Blank Cells
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.
Braille seizes to amaze me, and this past weekend, our library celebrated the Iowa Regional Braille Challenge! This competition showcased the importance of reading and writing braille, because in the end, braille equals literacy! This is why all of you are extremely important, all of you transcribe braille and follow the rules and guidelines that are available in free downloads such as, Braille Formats Principles of Print-to-Braille Transcription, 2016.
Today’s Dose will cover the topic of Entry Words and spacing. Remember, it is through the small guidelines in Braille Transcription work that can make all the difference to our precious braille readers.
Have a wonderful week!
