(tapping typewriters) Braille is a code?

Okay.

It was developed by Louis Braille, and it's based on six dots.

And there are three dots on the left side.

And three dots on her right side.

Depending on which one of those dots are raised.

Depends on what the letter is.

So each of the dot images is raised up so it can be felt that you basically you have to your finger.

So I'm just going to distinguish what the image feels like.

You're going to know which letter it is.

And you read pretty basically the same way that you do when you're reading print.

The difference is, is you're reading letter by letter.

So this is the swing.

So this has the two columns with three dots on the left and three dots on the right, which makes up our Braille.

So letter D is dots one, four and five.

If I were to write that on the Braille writer, I would pull the swing cell apart and it now corresponds to the keys on the Braille writer.

So if this a cell one, we would press this key.

This machine is called the Braille Writer.

It has six keys to represent the symbols and the contractions and patterns.

And if you push down like one or more, you can make patterns on the paper that I. Braille is important because Braille is literacy, and literacy is the ability to read right, speak and listen.

And it's the same for print readers.

They need to be able to communicate.

They need to be literate for Braille users, they're no different.

They just communicate in a different means than print students.

But everybody, whether you're a Braille user or a print user, everyone needs to be able to communicate.

I'm doing a poem about me, all about me.

It's a rhyming poem.

I like to eat.

I like to drink.

My favorite color is pink.

And that's.

Great.

I try.
