Firsthand uncontracted braille (grade 1) reading and writing course

Product features

Firsthand is designed to teach the adult learner to touch-read and write uncontracted braille (grade 1), primarily for use in such areas as labelling, and reading and writing short notes.

Firsthand is not designed as a "self-teach" course and should be taught by someone with a good knowledge of braille and touch reading techniques.

The introduction of the letters of the alphabet and other signs is very gradual, giving the learner ample opportunity to assimilate and accommodate these signs, and to practise touch reading.
