[stylist] reading braille

[James H. "Jim" Canaday M.A. N6YR]

Aziza,
yes, that's similar to my process when I was in 8th grade, 1973/1974.
I also used raised line paper to practice my printing to retain it, 
and good thing since I use that to write checks with a pen.
used the enlarged model, lots of repetition indeed.
took me about six months to get comfortable with it.  not like 
learning a new language, just new symbols.
