to check out your competition! Now that the contest has begun there
is a new link on the Web site (<A

reading log for the Leader Board.” By following this link you have the
opportunity to update your reading log as often as you desire throughout
the contest. At four secret dates throughout the contest we will
pull the data that has been submitted and determine the top three readers
in each category. This information will then be displayed on the Web
site in the form of a leader board. Contestants whose names appear
on the Leader Board at any point throughout the contest will receive a
special prize. <STRONG><B><FONT face=Verdana><SPAN

hundredth anniversary of Louis Braille’s birth the National Federation of
the Blind has started a Braille Readers are Leaders Campaign to address
the Braille literacy crisis. To help us address this crisis we need
information from adult Braille readers. You can help us by filling
out a very short, seventeen-question, survey online at <A
href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=oAiEZ0k7i_2f7htt9LoIcBfQ_3d_3d">https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=oAiEZ0k7i_2f7htt9LoIcBfQ_3d_3d</A>.
This survey is completely confidential and will not affect your
participation in the Braille Readers Are Leaders contest. Donate five
minutes of your time to help change the state of Braille literacy in this
country. <B><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Note: this survey is designed
for blind Braille readers; thus the sighted teachers and parents competing
in the contest do not need to fill it
out.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></B></SPAN></FONT></P>
