4.0 out of 5 stars
Note the book's subtitle: "Beginning Braille",
By
This review is from: Braille for the Sighted (Beginning Braille) (Paperback)
As the other reviews note, this is a fun little book that teaches you the alphabet and numbers in (grade-1) Braille, with puzzles showing words in isolation.But if you buy this, you should bear in mind that that doesn't go very far at all in teaching you to read the grade-2 Braille you'd find in the real world, which is full of contractions and punctuation using dot patterns that this book doesn't even mention. If you are sighted and want to learn to read Braille, see the book "Handbook for Learning to Read Braille by Sight" or possibly even the book "Instruction Manual for Braille Transcribing", and also look around <www.brl.org> and <www.loc.gov/nls/>.

This review is from: Braille for the Sighted (Beginning Braille) (Paperback)
It is possible that I will be blind in a few years so I wanted to learn to read Braille. This book has great beginings however the "dots" are not raised and I don't want to learn to read braille by sight. Its an okay but it would be better if the whole book were in actual braille though.

Good Place To Start,
By
This review is from: Braille for the Sighted (Beginning Braille) (Paperback)
I think that this book gives one a good place to start learning braille.
However, like other reviewers have mentioned, this is *extremely* basic. The only raised dots on my copy were the alphabet on the back cover. I think that an improvement to this book would be if there were some pages devoted to raised dots. That way, this book would be an even better and effective way to learn braille.
