>  Spring is in full bloom at Beulah Reimer Legacy, (BRL.) The birds are
> flying northward and our books are flying off the shelves. Along with the
> promise of warmer weather, BRL is heating up with more great books and
> special offers. BRL's mission is to increase Braille literacy and reading
> opportunities by placing Braille in the hands of eager readers.
>  In addition to our print/Braille picture books, BRL sells print/braille
> flash cards. Our math cards are a great way for children to learn their
> addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts. We also sell
> colors, shapes and opposites; sight words; first words; rhyming words;
> numbers and alphabet cards. At five dollars a set, our flash cards are a
> bargain for children and for adults learning Braille.
>  All BRL books are brailled in contracted (grade two) Braille with clear
> plastic strips which are placed on top of the printed text. Our word flash
> cards are written in both grade one and grade two Braille so that readers
> can learn spelling as well as the contracted forms of words. Our materials
> are all shipped free of charge. Please allow two weeks for delivery within
> the United States.
>  What makes BRL a leading resource for the most popular print/Braille
> children's picture books is our dedication to offering a large variety of

> BRL Book Give Away

> be easy to correct. Announcements of BRL book give aways are posted on the
> Beulah Reimer Legacy page on Facebook and are given away on a first come,
