[blindkid] Teaching toddlers Braille

[Carol Castellano]

Hi Margie,

Do you have access to a braillewriter or a slate and stylus for 
writing braille?  If you do, and if the toddler is ready to start 
actually learning the letters, you can make simple flash cards for 
him/her.  Write one braille letter--maybe the capital and the lower 
case--in braille in the center of each card (probalby would make 
sense to write in in print, too, for sighted helpers).  Clip off the 
upper right corner of each card so that everyone knows which way is up!
