The only "Braille" in this book is on the front and back cover. Sure it "shows" you the braille, but how do you learn braille without touching it? Hello?
 Learned braille in a day - keep in mind that it is for beginners December 21, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book is great for beginners and as the title says for people that can see. I got this book because I was intrigued by the braille that you see on elevators and everything. I really like learning languages and of course the basics is learning the alphabet. This book is great in helping you to do that. I went through the exercises and made flash cards of braille letters. After only a day, I know the braille alphabet which is all I wanted. If you want to learn just the basics of braille, then this is a great book.

I purchased this book for my son so that me may use it for our homeschool lesson to celebrate Louis Braille and what he has done for the blind community. I am looking forward to teaching and also learning how to read and write in braille when we use this book. We will be using it in January and I can't wait to share this book with him.

I think that this book gives one a good place to start learning braille.
However, like other reviewers have mentioned, this is *extremely* basic. The only raised dots on my copy were the alphabet on the back cover.
I think that an improvement to this book would be if there were some pages devoted to raised dots. That way, this book would be an even better and effective way to learn braille.

This book is good for people who know nothing about braile. It only talks about braile grade 1. it sais nothing about braile grade two. Also none of the book is "raised" it is flat so you can't try to learn with your eyes closed. You have to look at it. Only get this book if you know nothing about braile.
