i read grade 2 also … i read grade 2 also… but i read with 1 finger lol i guess i just get lazy but i do read with 2 sometimes that book, i think i have it
Well I’ve been … Well I’ve been reading braille sense kindergarten. It was kinda difficult to remember what combinations of the keys make what letters. For me reading it wasn’t that difficult after a year or so. Though on occation I still get I and E mixed up and the letters h and j.
wow, that was … wow, that was awesome. I’ve seen a stevie Wonder interview, and he was talking about sheet music written out in braille. How difficult was it to get to where you are now?
actually I read … actually I read with all my fingers on one hand thoe you’re supposed to use two. Actually most of the time I read in grade two which uses contractions such as er, sh, and st. So it’s not individual letters in that level. only the first level.
Thanks for … Thanks for demonstrating braille. I was wondering, it looks like you touch differet letters with each finger. It seems like touching more than one letter at a time would be confusing. I am trying to learn to help a friend.
Thanks again. For me, I can just read with one finger on a letter a time, but you do great.
I can’t read large … I can’t read large print which meant I had to learn Braille, I had no choice. As for my computer I use a screen reading program called jaws.
your a very good … your a very good ralle reader i knwo bralle too and im visually impared but i tink i have mroe signt so i normally do large pring or magnification of the computer cuz im nto fast a bralle at all.
In grade one yes … In grade one yes you read the letters individually but In grade 2 you don’t (there r 2 levels of Braille) Braille has patterns for learning Braille maybe google for them. Or you can go into Microsoft word type a letter then go to emboss, the letter u typed’ll show up in Braille. A teacher and I discovered that about 3 months a go.
Good Luck!
Thanks for this … Thanks for this video. I’ve been trying to teach myself how to read braille for a while, but haven’t had much luck. Are there patterns for words or do you read every letter individually?
Your welcome. … Your welcome. That’s one of the reasons I post these videos so that people can understand and not just assume certain things. Basically what I’m trying to say is that I like teaching people that way they don’t assume things that r not allways right and maybe teach them something new.
I use one hand … I use one hand though technically your suppose to use two one that reads the braille and the second hand to follow the first hand but I never could master that technique. Hope this helps.
Do you use one or … Do you use one or two fingers to feel and read the braille cells? What is your technique, are you using your other hand to help you keep track of what line or row you’re on? Thanks for any tips you can give me.
Oh that’s just the … Oh that’s just the first volume of it. I think it is because you can’t make Braille smaller or larger like you can print. At least that’s what I think, don’t know if it is all that accurate or not, I know the Braille smaller to larger thing is true but I’m not entirely sure if that’s the whole reason. Thanks for the commeant.
I have a computer … I have a computer program called a screen reader that is suposed to read everthing that’s on the screen but it doesn’t it only read about 60% of what’s on the screen. It sounds like you are interrested in learning braille, if you are there is a pattern to the “dots” or as you call them “bumps” google for it if you want, how ever like minny things it takes lots of practice, if I’m wrong ignore this part. Thanks for your commeant!!!
This is too cool. … This is too cool. I often touch the braille letters in public and try to feel them, my fingers are not able to distinguish the bumps very well. I can only compare it to things I have gotten really good at through practice, like tracking an animal – where most people don’t even see a trail in the forest. Similar things happen in martial arts….thanks for sharing! One question; how do you read the computer? (as in this comment)
Yes I am reading it … Yes I am reading it. I have had that book for a while even though I’ve read it minny times it’s impossible for me to remember every single word so yes I was really reading that. Thanks for the commeant!
r u sure that u are … r u sure that u are reading that because ur fingers look like there are going over the page to slow about the speed that ur reading i have been reading for 29 years now
you know that … you know that there’s teachers that us how to read Braille and they’re not blind? How do you think I learned Braille? it wasn’t from a teacher who was blind.
This is me reading Braille
