The National Federation of the Blind offers many programs and resources to help children and adults learn and have fun with Braille.
Braille is a code that enables us to read with our fingertips using a system of six raised dots. It was created in 1821 by a French boy named Louis Braille when he was just eleven years old. Today, Braille is used all over the world in many languages.
Simply put, Braille is vital to literacy for the blind. Compared to listening to audio versions of books or other materials, reading and writing with Braille teaches grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
