## Description

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS BOOK DOES NOT CONTAIN RAISED BRAILLE. Hello and welcome to Braille for the Sighted (Grade one + Grade two): A course in contracted braille. As a sighted learner, it shouldn’t be long until you are proficient in grade one braille and looking to further your braille reading skills by advancing to learning contracted braille (also known as grade two braille). Contracted braille uses a variety of techniques to drastically reduce the number of cells needed to convey a text. For example in contracted braille we may use the “y” cell to represent the word “you”. In this course we will cover both grades, first quickly covering grade one braille before moving onto contracted braille. In the contracted portion of the book we will cover the various types of… contractions word signs group signs as well as… shortforms typeforms braille music Lastly the book contains a number of exercises and practice pages for you to complete. Learning braille is an important task that will undoubtedly improve the lives of many and so I wish you the best in your journey to fluency.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useful for those learning Braille for the first time
*by A***R on 22 July 2025*

Very useful for someone learning Braille for the first time. Some errors though.

### ⭐⭐ Quite disappointed
*by S***P on 11 December 2023*

Poor quality print. No raised areas to learn from. Some sentences repeat directly after each other.

### ⭐⭐ Really not good
*by B***R on 17 May 2026*

This is really not good. This is just a series of lists of braille symbols for each character or word. There are no actual touch braille examples, despite having a photo of touch braille on the cover. There is no text to read. In fact there are no full words at all in braille except for the contractions. There is no guidance as the best way to learn. There isn’t even a list of further reading or resources. There are also quite a few major typos too, including misspelling “braille” as “brallie” in one case on the cover. Generally poorly done In fact, I’m not sure why I’m even giving it two stars.
