New Events System Test

A small community of readers come together to read a novel on their braille displays, sharing hints and tips on navigating electronic braille along the way.

We are currently reading Peter Pan, by J. M. Barrie. It can be found in the “Children Stories” folder on the RNIB Orbit Reader SD card for grade 2 readers, and the “Children G1” folder for grade 1 readers.

This week we will read chapter 6.

We are pleased to invite you to the 7th ICEB General Assembly, a full week of discussions and presentations about braille. Thanks to remote attendance, this will be our biggest General Assembly yet. Observers are warmly invited from both ICEB member and non-member countries.

To register, simply email [email protected] with your name, country, and the days you would like to attend.

Upon registering, you will receive the links to the Zoom meeting, links to pre-recorded paper presentations on YouTube, and reports and papers in print and braille format.

We do hope that you can join us.

Whilst our formal Friday calls have come to an end, we appreciate that, for many people, the world is still very different to how it was 6 months ago. If you’re still adjusting to the new normal, please feel free to join this informal call to put the world to rights with a member of the Braillists team and other attendees.

We start on page 9 of Fingerprint volume 8 this week, learning how to braille units of measure such as metres, kilograms and litres.

Is the only reason you never judge a book by its cover because you can’t read the cover in the first place? Open to both new and more experienced braille readers alike, the Book Club is a small group who meet every week to answer each other’s questions regarding reading using refreshable braille and to practice reading amongst friends.
