Today we have two great braille resources for you. Our Weekly Dose of Braille and a Braille Bits Podcast. Enjoy!
Braille Bits: Lesson 11 Podcast
Braille Bits is a correspondence-guided class conducted by the Library, providing braille lessons online or by mail. This podcast highlights each Braille Bits lesson and features an interview with a special guest to discuss all things braille. Check out the Braille Bits page for more information.
Join us for a great conversation as Denise talks to a very special guest, Karen Keninger, the Director of the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled. They will also review Braille Bits Lesson 11.
Weekly Dose of Braille
Words often times can be displayed in a way that they are Fragments of Words, and what do we do with General Symbols vs punctuation? Not a problem, take a glance at this week’s dose to help provide you with a little bit of guidance!

The Weekly Dose of Braille is created by our 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. This insightful Weekly Dose of Braille brings your attention to the common use of Unified English Braille and how to implement these rules and formats used by braille transcribers and proofreaders. It is a miscellaneous mixture of tricky, sometimes challenging circumstances, that a braille transcriber may come across or question, but are neatly put into a Weekly Dose of Braille for your easy access. Provided each week is a downloadable PDF file on each topic, a brf file can also be made available for your convenience.
