[Ohio-talk] Louis Braille's Birthday

[COLLEEN ROTH]

 Hi Milena,
I was amazed when I read recently that people are literate if they only use audiobooks.
These comments were in an Article by ms. Cronheim (I may have the spelling of her name wrong) in the Matilda Ziegly Magazine.
Well it is good to have Audiobooks they do not teach spelling, allow for slow reading and show layouts of documents.
If something is sent to us on a PC and we do not have a Braille Display would we really take time to spell something character by character.
Have a great day!
Colleen

> Thank you for reminding us of Louis Braille's Birthday.  In our busy lives, we're bound to forget what this wonderful man did for our education and literacy.  Let's continue to increase Braille literacy among the blind.  Technology is great but it can't replace Braille.  Braille allows you to keep up your reading speed, spelling and grammar, and when and where to place your punctuations while writing.  it allows you to view page layouts and determine how a document will look once it's printed.
