[president at nfbidaho.org]

Let's get ready to read braille. We need to let our BELL students and those
transition students who are working on braille know about this contest. We
adults get the chance to get our fingers busy too. What a great way to have
some peace in the busy Christmas season.See the abelow email for details on
how to register.

As part of its mission to promote Braille reading, the American Action Fund
for Blind Children and Adults is sponsoring Braille Readers Are Leaders
2019-2020. Braille readers in grades K-12 compete with others in their grade
category to read the most pages during the reading period from December 1 to
January 18. An adult category allows adults who want to practice their
Braille skills to participate as well. Registration began on November 1, and
it will remain open until the final day of the reading period. Cash prizes
will be awarded to the top readers in each category, and each participant
will receive a packet of Braille-related gifts.

 

A little competition is a great way to get kids (and adults!) reading.
Please register and start gathering books and magazines to be ready for the
reading period to begin. Braille readers are leaders!
