[blindkid] Spanish Braille books for kids

[Marianne Denning]

Thank you for that information.  I can think of a possible
explanation.  Many years ago we used to say we had grade 1 and grade 2
braille instead of uncontracted and contracted braille.  There is also
grade 3 braille which is braille shorthand.  People learned grade 3
braille for notetaking and writing information for themselves.  I am
not sure you can even get the books to learn grade 3 braille now.
