[il-talk] Fw: Fwd: [Nfbnet-members-list] Braille Readers are Leaders Contest Starting Soon

[Robert Gardner]

Hi Everyone

Please think about entering the Braille Readers Are Leaders contest which is coming soon.  Last year, to the best of my knowledge, we had only 4 NFBI adults enter the contest.  Considering we represent the whole state of Illinois, that is kind of sad.  

If you are interested and have questions, talk to me at convention or contact me personally.

Greetings Federationists,

The contest is for adults who read Braille. There are categories for all levels of Braille readers, from beginners to experts. Participants read for prizes, practice, and pleasure. Whether you love the competition or are spurred on simply because it’s a great way to promote and refine your Braille skills, this contest is for you. 

 

For more information, you can check the Web site, www.nfb.org/BRAL. There you will find all the forms and reading logs you will need to participate. If you still have questions, please contact the Braille Readers Are Leaders team at (410) 659-9314, extension 2312, or BrailleReadersAreLeaders at nfb.org.

 

Put your fingers to the paper and start recording what you are reading today! 

 

Braille Rocks,

The Braille Readers Are Leaders team

 

P.S. Looking for information about the K-12 Braille Readers Are Leaders program? 

 

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.
