Topic 2.1: English Braille alphabet
This topic introduces the letters of the alphabet used in English Braille writing. The first ten letters of the alphabet are formed using the top four dots (1, 2, 4, 5). Adding a dot 3 makes the next ten letters, and adding dot 6 to that makes the last six letters (except "w" because it was not used very much in the French language at the time that Louis Braille devised this system) (SANA,2002).
From activity 4 above you can now make more practices and write several other letters in Braille. In addition to writing in Braille, you also need to read information written in Braille.
Capital letter sign: The capital letter sign is represented by dot 6 written before a letter or the word. When the whole is capitalized double dot 6 is used before the word
Letter sign: The letter sign is represented by dots 5 6 written before a letter. It is commonly used in mathematics where a single letter is involved or to differentiate between a number or a letter.
