Writing in Braille

We have been learning all about Braille. People who are partially sighted or blind use Braille to read stories and books. Braille was invented by Louis Braille who was inspired by the game dominoes. Each letter is represented by up to 6 raised dots. We investigated the Braille alphabet and had a go at writing our names in Braille in our workbooks. We then went outside with word cards to have a go writing our spellings in Braille using stones to represent the raised dots.
