ENGLISH VISUALLY IMPAIRED

The modules are intended to familiarize the pupil with English Braille contractions and
their usage and with the rules of Braille writing.

MODULE I The Braille Alphabet, Capitalization, Paragraphing, Punctuation,


Cardinal Numbers

I. What is the Module About?

These are reading and writing exercises using the first ten letters of the alphabet that are
formed by using the upper and middle dots of the cell. The second ten letters of the
alphabet are formed by adding dot 3 to each of the first ten. The letters u, v, x, y and z are
formed by adding dots 3 and 6 to the first five letters. The letter w, dots 2-4-5-6, does not
fit into this pattern because Louise Braille devised the Braille system in France, and the
French alphabet did not contain the letter w.

Capitalization is indicated by placing the capital sign (dot 6) immediately before the letter
affected. When all of the letters in a word are capitals, the double capital sign (dot 6
placed in two consecutive cells immediately before the word) is used.

This module is made up of nine lessons:


Lesson 1 The First Ten Letters of the Alphabet

number sign (dots 3-4-5-6). The number sign, like the capital sign, is a special
Braille composition sign. Examples:
MODULE II The Alphabet Contractions
I. What is the Module About?

To save space and facilitate reading, certain groups of letters appearing


frequently in the English language are represented in Braille by special
characters known as contractions or signs. These signs may utilize one or two
cells and they may represent whole words, parts of words, or both.

The first type of contraction to be learned is the one-cell whole-word sign that
is represented by a single letter of the alphabet.

This module is made up of three lessons
