When I took literally braille class in grad school, my professor had us make braille flash cards. These are your standard index cards with the braille symbol on one side, and the dot combination in print on the other. The cards are meant to be a teaching tool during initial braille instruction. The student is given a card with a specific symbol, and he/she needs to identify the symbol, using all four fingers of the right hand, without stopping or scrubbing. If the student guesses the symbol correctly, then the teacher can mark the symbol as 'learned'. If the student misses, it goes into the 'missed' pile and is used later to teach that particular symbol again. There are also separate cards for the rules. For more information on braille, please check out my 'Helpful Links' on the right side of the page.

| Some of the cards that are in my arsenal, starting with top left and going clockwise; 'a', apostrophe sign ('), number sign, 'alm' (short word for 'almost'. |

| The only new card is the one in the middle, which is a contraction for 'some' (dot 5 s). |
