National Braille Week

Fri, 06 Jan 2012

National Braille Week runs every year from 4 to 11 January. It's a great time to celebrate this amazing system, invented so long ago by Louis Braille.
Braille is a way for blind people to read and write. But that's a massive understatement!

Think how much of what you do relies on being able to read or write. Your job may well depend on it. Reading is a huge source of entertainment. It's also a way to learn, to gain an education. Writing is a really important way to express yourself, and to communicate.

National Braille Week is run each year by Royal Blind. The National Braille Week website has details of events, latest news, blogs, videos and more.
