Braille Lessons
There are 15 lessons that you can complete to learn the basics of the braille code. You can complete the lessons in 2 ways:
1. On your own: download each lesson, read the key points and then complete and check the reading and writing exercises.
2. In a group: an instructor can download the lessons (including Duxbury files) and present these in a class setting.
To complete the writing lessons you will need a Perkins braille writer or Perky Duck (a free computer program that allows your computer keyboard to simulate a braille writer.)
Here is a complete list of the letters of the alphabet and contractions (short ways of writing words or parts of words). This list is posted with permission from the National Braille Press. A large print copy of this chart can be purchased from NBP.
