New Events System Test

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.

We are currently reading Kensuke’s Kingdom, by Michael Morpurgo. It can be found in the “Teens” folder on the RNIB Orbit Reader SD card in both grade 1 and grade 2.

This week we will continue reading chapter 3, starting at the diary entry for 1 January.

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 are pleased to present the second of our Braille for Beginners courses, tutored by Melanie Pritchard and following the popular Fingerprint course from RNIB. For more information, please see the registration announcement and registration reminder.

This session will look at how to take effective notes in braille for your own personal use. We will cover increasing your speed when note taking, ways to organise your notes and the tools that you may wish to use.
