Here's a great way to learn to read Braille and reinforce your skills as often as you like! The over one hundred flash cards in this one-of-a-kind set are guaranteed to make mastery of the Braille alphabet truly a breeze. At the top of each card, you'll find the letter or word embossed in large, raised-print, and below this is the Braille equivalent. Included are cards to teach the capital and small letters, numbers, and punctuation marks. Perhaps best of all, we've also thrown in over two dozen common words (such as
Braille,
salt,
pepper and
America) for you to practice reading, so you can really get a feel for using Braille in everyday situations. Whether you yourself want to learn Braille, or know someone who's new to reading by touch, this set of flash cards is just what you need!
This wonderful set of 104 cards comes in a cardboard box for easy storage. The cards themselves are embossed on sturdy 3" by 5" index cards, cut from 100-pound paper stock. (Unfortunately, no Braille embosser can print on thicker paper or cardboard.) Also, since the raised print and Braille letters are made up entirely of embossed dots, there is no color on the cards - something which we Braille readers don't really mind much. :) Don't let those minor points scare you off, though - you won't find a set like this anywhere else. And at this unbeatable price, these cards are sure to give you hours of learning or teaching fun.
As for shipping, it's FREE. Since this is a deck of Braille cards for the blind, we can send it via FREE MATTER FOR THE BLIND through the good old post office. Remember that FREE MATTER packages do take a week or two to be delivered within the continental U.S. or Canada, so the shipping time isn't lightning fast - but the cost is sure right! (One quick note: the free shipping is only an option if you yourself are blind, or are purchasing this item for someone who cannot see. If you are sighted and are just curious about Braille, etc., you'll need to add $4.75 for paid ground shipping. Thanks for your honesty in doing the right thing!) And of course, we'll get your order in the mail the day after we receive your payment.
If you're outside North America, the free shipping is available for you, too. But since FREE MATTER packages go with all the surface mail, they take four to eight weeks to get to Europe and two or three months to reach Australia. If you'd prefer to pay for Airmail shipping (so you can get your parcel in a week or two), the cost would be $6.15 - no matter where in the world you are. And if you'd like to buy more than one of our items, just email me for a combined shipping quote.
