What You'll Need

What is Braille?

Braille is a system used for reading writing by people who are blind or visually impaired.  Braille uses tiny bumps on paper to make letters and words. Each letter of the alphabet has its own pattern of bumps.

A man named Louis Braille invented braille in the early 19th century!

Even if you don't use braille to read or write, learning about braille gives us insight so we can better connect with people who do! If you start looking for it, you'll find braille everywhere you go!

Step 2

On the braille worksheet, glue a Cheerio on each dark circle to decode the secret message!

If you'd like an extra challenge, you can use the alphabet and the additional sheet to write your own word!

Step 3

After the glue has dried, close or cover your eyes and run your fingers over your braille! Isn't it amazing to think about reading with your fingers! 

Super Lakshmi reads and writes in braille all of the time! You can see her and what braille looks like in the photo below!

Step 4

Strap on your Cape and take a photo!  Post it on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or anywhere you'd like! Make sure to tag us @TinySuperheroes and #InsightMission
