Braille 101

Description

The number one indicator of a child's success as a braille reader is having the support of a family member who can read
braille. Babies and toddlers benefit significantly from sharing the experience of reading a braille book with their caregivers,
and they become more active participants in reading time when a caregiver models following the braille text. In order to do
this, parents and caregivers need a basic understanding of the braille code. This workshop will teach the braille alphabet,
numbers, basic punctuation, and a few braille contractions.
