What is Braille?
Braille is a special way to read and write. It helps people who cannot see with their eyes. Instead of seeing letters, they feel bumps on a page. Each pattern of bumps stands for a letter, a number, or even a whole word! A smart person named Louis Braille invented it a long, long time ago. Because of Braille, many people can read books, learn in school, and even use computers!
