James, try National Braille Press for some books in grade 1 (uncontracted Braille). They might have some for people just learning? Also, if you want to check, the Lutheran Braille Workers produce Bibles in uncontracted, or they used to, if that?s of interest to you.

Hello all: Nearly twenty years ago I was taught grade one Braille and I've rarely used it since. Aside from printing out the alphabet is there any other means to allow me to practice my Braille? I'm thinking like simple kids books that have already been translated. Jim James M. Corbett Programmer / Analyst | Canada Revenue Agency | Agence du revenue du Canada 875 Heron Rd. Ottawa, On.
