This unit introduces you to the Braille contractions and abbreviations (also known as short-forms) used in English Braille.. We shall use Standard English Braille, with capitals, along with Braille Mathematics Notation, both of which are British Braille. In Grade 2 Braille, contractions and other short forms are employed to cut down on the space used for writing braille. Contractions and other related terms are defined in the sections below.
By the end of this unit, you should be able to:
- Read and write different contractions of English Braille
- Use short forms in writing and reading braille
