Contracted Braille Writing 1: Alphabetic Wordsigns

Hadley presents Contracted Braille Writing Workshop 1: Alphabetic Wordsigns.

If you don't already know how to read alphabetic wordsigns, we recommend first completing Hadley's reading workshop, Contracted Braille Workshop 1: Alphabetic Wordsigns.

Begin by putting paper in your writing device using the writing device you have available to you, including the slate and stylus, the Perkins Brailer or an electronic note taker.

Also, you will need your braille workbook. If you don't already have one, call Hadley at 784-2816 and we'll mail one right out to you. This workshop is audio only. The player controls are at the bottom of the slide. To give yourself time to braille select the play pause button in the bottom left corner to write, and then select it again to continue the audio.

Ed: Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us we'd like to learn more about you, your name, email address, 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're just a phone call away at 847-323-4238.

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 experts like me. Now, where were we?
