[Mdpobc] a proud mom

[Bare Wood House]

Trudy,
Our TVI turned us on to this.  They have to be the ones to do the preliminary testing, or a group testing center.  However there are no testing centers locally.  You can find out more about the Braille Challenge at www.braillechallenge.org  Let me know if you have anymore questions.

  Great Job Christopher.  How did you all find this.  Brandon's Vision teacher just left and was saying how she has never seen a 1st grader retain spelling words like he has.

  Very good!

  Nice job, great accomplishment, and a rewarding gift.

  the gift of literacy is worth all the effort.

  Smart guy you have there.

  Don't forget to call us at National Braille Press to redeem his gift certificate.

    Hi everyone,

    This past weekend Christopher and I were in California for the Braille Challenge Finals.  For those of you who are not familiar with this it is through Braille Institute.  There are 5 age categories ranging from 1st grade to 12th.  The kids are tested in things like reading comprehension, proof reading, spelling, speed and accuracy (dictation) and charts and graphs.  Christopher came in 3rd this year in his age group.  We are so proud of him.  This is a very tough competition and to have placed is wonderful.  He gets a savings bond.  

    I just had to share.
