The McDuffy Reader: A Braille Primer for Adults (By Sharon L. Monthei)

This one-volume Braille instructional manual presents first the Braille alphabet and punctuation signs, then introduces the contractions in logical groups. All contracted materials appear in correctly contracted Braille. A chart of contractions and a description of the rules of usage for each set of contractions are found in the back of the book. Also included is a list of Braille contractions and symbols which are no longer used by the Unified English Braille code, but which students will encounter in existing Braille materials. This edition of the manual teaches Unified English Braille, which became the official Braille code in the United States in January 2016.
