Braille Special Symbols Writing 2 - Special Punctuation

Hadley presents Braille Special Symbols Writing Workshop Two: Special Punctuation.

If you don't already know how to read special punctuation, we recommend first doing Hadley's reading workshop, Braille Special Symbols Workshop Two: Special Punctuation.

All right. Let's take a look at these special symbols. Turn to page five in the workbook. At the top of the page, read the symbols: single quotes, square brackets, curly brackets.

Capitalization and punctuation will be read aloud only as needed for clarity. To begin, start on a new line to write each sentence. Run over lines will be indented two spaces. Be sure to use capitalization and punctuation as you would in print, and do not divide words between lines. Also, write all numbers with numerals, not words.

Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us, we'd like to learn more about you. Your email address, name, how you heard about Hadley, and your relationship to vision loss. Learning more will give us a better understanding of how to personalize Hadley just for you. And don't worry, everything you share with us online will be kept safe and secure. Of course, if you'd prefer to talk through these questions, we are just a phone call away at 800-323-4238.

Taking these few steps saves your preferences so you can continue right where you left off and track your progress every time you log on. Plus it connects you to the Hadley community and helps sustain our funding to keep Hadley free-of-charge. And last but not least, it gives you direct access to the Hadley team. So now is your chance to sign up and join us.
