Braille for the Sighted (Grade one + Grade two) Paperback – Big Book, 30 May 2022

I’m using this to help me learn to read Braille as my grandson is blind. He is learning Braille & soon he (with the help of mom) will be able to use a Braille writer to send me letters or sign my holiday cards. I also bought a Braille letter writer so I can send him letters & sign his holiday cards in Braille. This is a must have.

Update: Some information may be German Braille and not UEB (I was curious about the differences since I did the basic language course in Uni and had a PDF).Definitely use as a supplement book and not a main or only reference.It was the round brackets ( ) that were not UEB.-----------------------Love the print size and layout of the lessons, along with the corresponding exercises to practice. Added bonus is the extra blank pages you could use a template to create more for endless practice with pen/pencil.However, some information is incorrect.So far I noticed (printing?) errors with the punctuation braille, so I would recommend using this as a practice workbook ONLY and buy another UEB braille book to use as a "Textbook".Or download the UEB braille PDF. I am using my 2nd UEB braille book with the PDF and websites to be absolutely sure I am not learning the wrong information now.

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

The information is fine, but like other books that Amazon prints on demand, this one had a lot of wasted space on the pages. (Look inside the back cover. If it was printed the same day it was ordered, it's likely Amazon POD.) I do not need enormous 6-cell boxes to practice each letter or contraction. There are no answers in the back to check our work. The same info is presented more concisely in single page handouts that can be found online and downloaded free. But if you really need a book for home study or a class, this could be useful.

This book is very easy to use!
