What's Text/Braille?

What's the difference between Braille and Text/Braille?

Well, here at The Braille Bookstore, we have two different formats of books to enjoy:

The first is, naturally, Braille-only books. These are books with no print in them whatsoever. - Simple enough.

Next, we introduced Text/Braille. Essentially a step up from the Braille-only books, these are simply the former with the printed text (no pictures or illustrations) on the left page and the accompanying Braille text on the right page. So, every time you turn just one page, you can read either the print or Braille text. This allows a sighted parent, teacher or older sibling to read along with a child, so that both sighted and blind children and their parents and teachers can enjoy reading these beautiful stories. And best of all, when you're running your fingers over the lines of Braille, anyone with sight can still see every word of the print!

Basically, all you need to keep straight is that Text/Braille books have both the Braille and print text, whereas the Braille books have just the Braille - no print. That's it. Happy reading!

Looking for a particular book or product? Just punch in the title or item name, and one of our sales clerks will run and see if we've got it in stock.
