[il-talk] About Braille.

[Denise Avant]

hi linda,
maybe you might want to start reading some children's books just to get started. you can obtain braille books through your local nls library. also, some of the kernel books from the nfb would be good. our affiliate probably has some available. or you could contact the national office.

I am sure you already no that reenforcement is one key element of learning any code system. I can tell you when I learned Morse code, various cryptography codes and ciphers, and various character codes like Baudot, EBCDIC, and ASCII.
