Braille Formats Challenge
Braille Formats Challenge
June 3 - August 23, 2024
12 week challenge to read 13 pages a day in Braille Formats, 2016.
By the end of the summer, you will have read the 672 page codebook!
The reason for this challenge is to get familiar with Braille Formats, 2016 and not to master it in 12 weeks.
It can be intimidating to read the codebook since it is a hefty tome.
But don't fret! Let's read it together.
1. Watch this Getting Started Video for the Braille Formats Challenge.
2. Then save a copy of the Summer Reading Schedule. You can highlight the days as you read the pages or you can print it and color it by hand. bit.ly/FormatsChallenge
3. Share this challenge with your transcribing friends! Here is the link that they need: bit.ly/FormatsChallenge
4. Check back in every Monday on our Facebook page, groups/uebstudygroup for the weekly reading schedule

      Ohhh. I’m very impressed that you inferred that. You are absolutely correct. To write braille using a slate, you wrote right to left and the mirror image of the braille sign. Check out my Slate and Stylus playlist for a video tutorial.

      Hi Kris! How exciting that you’re learning braille by touch as well! I wish I could share the brf file, but the curriculum is copywrited and I doubt Exceptional Teachings would be happy if I gave it out for free. It’s time consuming typing it up, but it would be a great resource if you brailled your own.

    For some reason I prefer typing in Braille rather than print. But I think that is because I have really short pinkies and I only need my three longer fingers. It takes less time and is easier.

      Most people who are blind have some vision. They could also measure a 3D object- it won’t necessarily be a line drawn on a page. It could be a raised line or 3D object.

      You can print from Word to an ink or laser jet printer to get flat, black dots. If you wanted raised dots, you’d need access to an embosser, which is a braille printer.

    Highlights from the @ctebvi conference: 1. Colorful braille stickers from ExceptionalTeaching.com 2. “Guidelines and games for effective braille reading” by Bjorg and Olson. Available in paperback and EPUB from APH.org. Great book for how to teach braille! 3. I got to take several workshops by Dr. Braille, aka Randy Davis from Aloha Braille. Thank you for the braille tshirt! 4. Exploring the exhibit hall and learning about new braille tech! 5. “The big book of puzzles: 50 Searches, Anagrams, And Ladders To Help You Master Braille” from NBP.org for $20. 6. The T3 by TouchGraphics.com blends thermoformed tactile graphics and a tablet to create a multi sensory experience. Check out their website for a video demo! 7. Taptilo has a blue and white jumbo braille display and braille writing blocks. It is an interactive game that teaches braille literacy! 8. I got to attend a workshop on how contract transcribers can find work. The all-star panel consisted of Peggy Schuetz from Transcribing Mariners, Randy Davis from Aloha Braille and Company, and Amber Pearcy from National Braille Press. 9. My Etsy store is opening soon and it will have my first product that I shared a sneak peek at last year’s conference. It’s a sweatshirt with SimBraille that’s says, “I have no idea what this says.” 10. I got to meet Noye from @BraillionOfficial. We are Instagram friends and it was great getting to meet a fellow TVI and braille fanatic. I met so many interesting people! I’m feeling very inspired. I hope you can join me at the next conference!
