Standard Slate, Metal
Item Number: 1066
Pins Up
Item Number: 1066-1
Very briefly, this is the usual style. The four pins that hold the paper in place are on the bottom of the slate, which is the way all our other slates are. This design makes it faster to move the slate down the page to continue writing. (If you're at all unsure which type to get, just go for Pins Up - it's the norm.)

Pins Down
Item Number: 1066-2
This means the four pins that secure the sheet of paper are on the top of the slate. Many beginning Braille readers prefer this type of slate because it's easy to proofread and make corrections if necessary. Just flip the slate over, lift the top, and read what you've written. The pins will hold the paper steady while you read or correct mistakes.
