Dots You Can Feel

Some people cannot see the print in a book. They can learn to read braille instead. Braille uses dots you can feel.

The dots are raised. They stick up from the page. A reader moves a finger over them. The finger can feel where each dot is.

A group of dots can stand for a letter. Different groups can stand for different letters. The reader learns what these groups mean. This helps the reader read words by touch.

A photo in a book about braille shows a hand on the dots. The caption says, "These dots help fingers read."
