> This year marks the 30th anniversary of the K-12 Braille Readers Are Leaders program. To celebrate 30 years of success, later this fall we will be expanding the program and launching Braille Readers Are Leaders 360: A Community of 21st Century Braille Readers­the first-ever accessible online community for children who read Braille! The Braille Readers Are Leaders 360 (BRL360) online community will provide a safe place online where Braille readers in kindergarten through twelfth grade can share their literacy experience through: online discussions about their favorite books, book trailers, live author chats, videos of themselves reading Braille, and much more! Continuing with the Braille Readers Are Leaders mission, BRL360 will promote a pride in Braille and a joy of reading among blind children all year long. Stay tuned for more information about the expansion of our K-12 Braille Readers Are Leaders program. Contact us with your questions at:BRL360 at nfb.org or 410-659-9314, extension 2418.
