Braille is an essential tool used for those with loss of sight, enabling them to read and write. This Braille Learning Pack will help your children learn more about this six raised dot system that was invented in 1821 by a French schoolboy Louis Braille..
Our boys became interested in Braille, after finding this writing on a packet of our sons asthma medication. With the help of this printable pack, our boys are learning more about how people how experience loss of sight are able to learn to read and write.

- Braille Cell

Our boys have enjoyed deciphering the Braille alphabet with the Read & Write Braille pages.
For the blank template pages, I gave the boys a packet of Adhesive Small Dots (8mm diameter) for them to stick onto the template to make the letters. These dots were raised slightly from the paper, so the boys were able to close their eyes and feel what it would be (sort of) like to read Braille. They had a great time learning the placement of the dots for each letter and number of the alphabet.
