[Blindtlk] Grade 3 Braille

[dotwriter1 at gmail.com]

That's really interesting Judy. I wonder if Amish Bibles are printed that way? They still read and speak German. I remember a while back there were a couple of kids that were students at the school for the blind in Wisconsin. I wonder if the Bibles they had which were braille, were in german code. 

Someone mentioned the Museum of braille/reading materials for the blind. Curious, where was that museum? Sounds like an interesting attraction to

I'm not a keen braille user yet. I'm working on reading grade 1 well. It's just fascinating that you would read with textures instead of dots. Sounds slow but interesting. Like you Judy, I like history so this is all pretty interesting to me.
