Q1.
A. Write these words using the Braille alphabet. You can paste “bindis”. One is done for you. 1. CatThe three cells the book has already filled in for you on page 60. Read them off the alphabet chart on page 56.
Answer
Cat is the word the book has already done for you. Look at the three cells carefully — they show you exactly what to do for the other words.
Cat in Braille: c (dots 1 and 4), a (dot 1), t (dots 2, 3, 4 and 5).
Letter
Raised dots
Where they are
c
1 and 4
the two top places, side by side
a
1
the top left place only
t
2, 3, 4 and 5
middle left, bottom left, top right, middle right
Why one cell for each letter: A word in Braille is written the same way as in print — one symbol after another, left to right. Cat has three letters, so it needs three cells.
Tip — using bindis: Draw three boxes in your notebook. Paste a bindi in every place that must be raised, and leave the other places empty. A bindi stands up a little from the paper, so your friend can read your word with her eyes shut.
A small point about capital letters: The book writes Cat, Man, Boy and Jug with a capital first letter, but the chart on page 56 gives only the twenty-six small letters, and the finished example for Cat uses the plain letter c. So write the plain letter symbols, just as the book has done. (In real Braille a special capital sign is put before a letter to make it a capital. Your book does not teach that sign, so you do not need it here.)
Q2.
A. Write these words using the Braille alphabet. You can paste “bindis”. One is done for you. 2. ManThree empty boxes, exactly as the book prints them for this word. One box for each letter.The Braille alphabet as your book prints it on page 56. Each letter has its own block of six dot places — two across and three down. A solid dot is raised and can be felt; an outlined dot place stays flat.
Answer
Man has three letters, so you need three cells: m, a, n.
Man in Braille: m (dots 1, 3 and 4), a (dot 1), n (dots 1, 3, 4 and 5).
Letter
Raised dots
m
1, 3 and 4
a
1
n
1, 3, 4 and 5
How to find each letter: Run your finger along the middle band of the chart — k, l, m, n, o. Copy the dots you see there, place for place, into your box.
Check it yourself:m and n look almost the same. n has one dot more than m — the middle right dot (dot 5). Count the dots before you paste your bindis.
Q3.
A. Write these words using the Braille alphabet. You can paste “bindis”. One is done for you. 3. BoyThree empty boxes, exactly as the book prints them for this word. One box for each letter.The Braille alphabet as your book prints it on page 56. Each letter has its own block of six dot places — two across and three down. A solid dot is raised and can be felt; an outlined dot place stays flat.
Answer
Boy has three letters, so you need three cells: b, o, y.
Boy in Braille: b (dots 1 and 2), o (dots 1, 3 and 5), y (dots 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6).
Letter
Raised dots
b
1 and 2
o
1, 3 and 5
y
1, 3, 4, 5 and 6
Why y has so many dots: Only one of the six places is left flat in y — the middle left place (dot 2). Letters near the end of the alphabet use the bottom dots as well, so they are fuller.
Tip: Fill in the easy letter first. b is just two dots, one under the other, on the left. Then do o, then count carefully for y.
Q4.
A. Write these words using the Braille alphabet. You can paste “bindis”. One is done for you. 4. JugThree empty boxes, exactly as the book prints them for this word. One box for each letter.The Braille alphabet as your book prints it on page 56. Each letter has its own block of six dot places — two across and three down. A solid dot is raised and can be felt; an outlined dot place stays flat.
Answer
Jug has three letters, so you need three cells: j, u, g.
Jug in Braille: j (dots 2, 4 and 5), u (dots 1, 3 and 6), g (dots 1, 2, 4 and 5).
Letter
Raised dots
j
2, 4 and 5
u
1, 3 and 6
g
1, 2, 4 and 5
Watch the top left place: In j the top left place stays flat. That is what makes j different from d, which has dots 1, 4 and 5. One dot changes the whole letter.
Check it yourself: Cover the chart and write Jug from memory. Then uncover the chart and match dot by dot.
Q5.
5. Write your name in Braille.The Braille alphabet as your book prints it on page 56. Each letter has its own block of six dot places — two across and three down. A solid dot is raised and can be felt; an outlined dot place stays flat.
Answer
This one is about your own name, so only you can write it. Here is exactly how.
What to do:
Write your name in small letters, for example ravi.
Count the letters. Draw that many boxes in a row in your notebook.
Take the letters one at a time. Find each one on the chart on page 56.
Paste a bindi in every place that is raised for that letter. Leave the rest empty.
Read your name back with your eyes shut, using one fingertip.
A sample name, Ravi, written in Braille: r, a, v, i.
Letter
Raised dots
r
1, 2, 3 and 5
a
1
v
1, 2, 3 and 6
i
2 and 4
Sample answer: the name Ravi needs four cells — r, a, v, i — drawn above. Your own name may need more boxes or fewer.
Why a Braille name-card is useful: People with blindness often stick a small Braille label on a box, a file or a medicine bottle. Then they can find the right one by touch, without asking anybody.
A small point about capital letters: The book writes Cat, Man, Boy and Jug with a capital first letter, but the chart on page 56 gives only the twenty-six small letters, and the finished example for Cat uses the plain letter c. So write the plain letter symbols, just as the book has done. (In real Braille a special capital sign is put before a letter to make it a capital. Your book does not teach that sign, so you do not need it here.)
