[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

 I have a trick for remembering the dot 5 words.  My teacher made some crazy, but easy to remember, sentences, to remember the words.  He also made some for the 45 words, but I do not rember those.

Mother father young work one day some time part.

Where aught there through character.

Ever know lord question right here under name.

ok for you folks having difficulty with interchanging letters, here is a hint. there is a pattern to the braille letters. learn the pattern and you may have less trouble interchanging letters.

a is dot 1.
b is a plus dot 2.
c is a plus dot 4.
e is a plus dot 5.
f is b plus dot 4.
g is b plus dot 4 5.
 h is b plus dot 5.
so we have used all combinations with the two top left dots 1 and 2 or a and b..
so the pattern now begins with dot 2.
 I is dot 2 plus 4.
j is dot 2 and 4 5
so if you can remember the logic of the pattern you may remember it better.the alphabet continues in this logical style except for the fact that Louis Braille was French so some of the pattern is broken.
