Braille Reading by Sight: Dot 456 Contractions

Hadley presents Contracted Braille, Dot 456 Contractions. Before we get started, I just wanna acquaint you with the layout here, and what's available to you through these workshops. When you scroll down this page, you'll notice a few things that will come in real handy, and make your learning a lot easier too.

First, the resources tab right below this frame has handouts, website links and more. These are really handy when going through the workshop. The other resources listed give you lots of opportunities to practice your skills. And if you scroll down a bit further, you'll notice that we've made getting in touch with a Braille expert real easy, too. Calling the posted number or emailing them puts you directly in touch with these Braille experts. Don't hesitate to ask for their help. That's why they're here.

Dot 456 contractions are word signs and group signs that begin with dots 456 and the first letter of each word it represents.

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.
