CloseBraille Refreshers
Braille Refreshers is a program from APH that will โgive your braille knowledge new lifeโ (or refresh it) by sharing a weekly piece of braille instruction in the form of a no-stakes question that gives immediate feedback. The questions are created and responded to in SurveyMonkey.
Once you sign up, a new Braille Refresher question arrives in your email inbox every week. It takes about ninety seconds to complete a question, and each email comes with a braille code book reference and/or an additional study resource. This service was originally designed to support TVIs who are between braille students.
If you have an idea for a Braille Refresher question, please email it to BrailleImprovement@aph.org. We particularly appreciate submissions that include the question and a collection of answer choices. But we are open to any request or suggestion!
You can sign up today to receive weekly Braille Refresher questions and give your braille knowledge new life by completing the mailing listย sign-up form and checking the box for Braille Refreshers. Braille on!
