Oh yeah, we had one of these and it had Braille letter under the print
letters.  Gab loved it and played with it until last year when it just quit
working. V

I really like my daughters alphabet town toy. I think it came from walmart. 
It has 8 different modes to work on letters, spelling, what comes before or 
after, counting the lights, following the light, and music. I found it as a 
good start to teaching her letters. I also just recently bought a Leaper 
Frog laptop. It cost $30, and talks a lot, so I have been able to help my 
daughter to learn how to do the different games. It focues on letters, 
numbers, music, and how to use the mouse. The only part that I found hard to

do is switch the game. It is a strip with flat buttons. I am sure it could 
be labeled with raised dots if a parent wanted to be able to select the 
game.
