Learn the Basics of Braille Today

Braille is a series of 6 dots in two columns of 3 dots, it is often used by blind people to read. I started on my Braille journey a couple of years ago (read My Journey to Learn Braille in 2021 - TIM DIXON for more information) and have continued to embrace it with labels around the house. One of the challenges is ensuring my sighted family can read the braille labels, this requires them to at least be able to read braille by sight.

I came across Braille Concept a web game for learning the basics of Braille in small fun lessons. I wish I had this when first starting to learn Braille to get my head around the basics. This is no substitute for the Braille course offered by the Braillists Foundation, which I highly recommend, however if you are sighted and want to learn the alphabet in Braille,Braille Concept is a great and simple way grasp the basics.

If you want to know more about history of Braille check out this article by Sight Scotland:  National Braille Week: An Introduction | Sight Scotland

Happy Braille Learning....

Braille Concept is a great web game to learn the Braille alphabet.
