[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT Braille

[Annely Rose]

Hi,

I remember that using the word "backward" was a no no.  When I was in elementary school and one of my classmates was learning to write with the slate and stylus, I piped up and said "it's like writing backward" and my teacher gently but firmly said we don't use that word.  I'll never forget that.

 One of my soapboxes is to
 get teachers ( all of them) to think of dots one
 two and three as the first side of the cell and
 four five six as the second
 side of the
 cell.  Then starting at the other end of the slate does
 not
 change the progression of the Braille. 
 Then you only have to keep track of
 the end
 of the line where you start.  Everything else is in
 progression.  It
 seems pretty simple to
 me.  And I have never had a student who couldn't
 understand this if somebody had not already
 confused them with some other
 approach.

 Joyce, I either
 heard of someone working on something like that or it is
 out
 there.  Or, maybe that is in my
 dreams.  That is why it is so important to
 learn the dot combinations when you learn
 braille.  When you use the slate
 and
 styllus dots 1, 2 and 3 are on the right.  It really made
 it easier for
 me to use it when I changed
 how I thought of the slate and styllus.  I am
 still not the greatest but I can get the job
 done.
