He was born near Paris. An accident at age 3 followed by a serious infection left him blind. He entered the Royal Institution for Blind Youth in Paris (now the National Institution for Blind Youth) when he was 10. Braille was a good student, especially of science and music, and he became a church organist. He remained at the Institute as a teacher. There he developed his system of reading. (From the 1998 World Book Multimedia Encyclopedia) BACK Braille Braille is a code of small, raised dots on paper that can be read by touch. Louis Braille, a 15-year old blind French student, developed a raised dot reading system in 1824. The idea came to him from the dot code punched on cardboard that Captain Charles Barbier used to send messages to his soldiers at night. In 1829, Braille published a dot system, basing it on a “cell “of six dots. From the 63 possible arrangements of the dots, Braille worked out an alphabet, punctuation marks, numerals, and, later, a system for writing music. His code was not officially accepted at once. But later it won universal acceptance for all written languages and for mathematics, science, and computer notation. BACK NEXT Braille Blind people read braille by running their fingers along on the dots. They can write braille on a 6-key machine called a braillewriter, or with a pocket-size metal or plastic slate. Braille books are pressed from metal plates. The characters are stamped on both sides of the paper by a method called interpointing. Dots on one side of the page do not interfere with those printed on the other. In the early 1960’s, publishers began using computers to speed up production of braille books. The text is typed NEXT into a computer that automatically translates it into braille. The computer then transfers the raised braille figures onto paper or onto metal plates for use in a press. By another method, a vacuum braille former duplicates handtranscribed braille pages on plastic sheets, which are then bound in volumes. (From the 1998 World Book Multimedia Encyclopedia) BACK The Village of Coupvray The village of Coupvray is situated on the slopes of a grassy hill set between the Brie region of France and that of the Champagne province. In spite of the proximity of the Marne Valley, it retains even today the character of a rural village. One may still see the small brown-tiled roofs, the farmyards, the farmhouses and a village green surrounded by trees where are clustered together St. Pierre Church (where Louis Braille was christened on January 8, 1809), the village hall, and the monument set up in 1887 and topped by a bust of the inventor of the alphabet for the blind. The body of Louis Braille rested in the village cemetery till 1952. On his tomb can be seen a casket in which the remains of his hands are preserved — those hands which were the first in the world to finger the raised dots of the Braille alphabet. All around is still open country. BACK NEXT Here and there amid the gardens and orchards, small grassy paths meander across the hillside. And, on the lower slopes, is an old wash- house with wooden posts and mossy tiles where the clear waters flow swiftly by, gently murmuring. (From www.blind.net/bg410002.htm) BACK The Braille Family Home The Braille family home is in the lower part of Coupvray at the end of a small street which in the past went by the name of Knoll Street. It is a large solid house, built in the latter half of the 18th century and restored at various times since then. The Braille family also owned several farm buildings in the yard and on the opposite side of the street. A marble tablet was affixed in 1952 to the wall of the house facing the yard. The text, in French and English, reads: BACK The Braille Family Home In this house on January 4, 1809 was born Louis Braille inventor of writing in raised dots for use of the blind. He opened the doors of knowledge to those who cannot see. ( (From www.blind.net/bg410002.htm) NEXT Text A Starter The development of society is powered by inventions and discoveries.

Grieser 1 Blind and wanting to read — those were the realities of N Louis Braille’s life. The desire to read easily led to the N Braille system. January 4 is Braille Day. That day honors the blind. But we should also remember Louis and what he achieved by age 15. ? NEXT Text A 2 NLouis Braille was born on January 4, 1809, in France. He lived with his parents, two older sisters, and one older brother in a small, stone house in Coupvray. ? NEXT Text A 3 Three-year-old Louis went to his father’s workshop. N Louis’s father was a saddle maker who made items out of leather. Imitating his father, Louis tried to cut a piece of N leather with a small knife. His hand slipped, and the point of the knife went into his eye. The doctors took care of him the best they could, but the injured eye got infected. Then the infection spread to his good eye. Louis became blind. ? NEXT Text A 4 Louis went to a public school and learned by listening to the teacher. To do his homework, his sister and a friend read the assignments to him. Soon Louis was at the top of his class. ? NEXT Text A 5 One day, the pastor of Louis’s church came to Louis’s house and told his parents of a school for theN blind in Paris. Louis’s parents decided to send him to the school when he was nine years old. ? NEXT Text A 6 Louis wanted very much to read. The school had only 14 books for blind people; the books were big and heavy. The letters were large and raised; one book took a long time to read. Louis thought there must be a better way to read. ? NEXT Text A 7 When Louis was 12, Charles Barbier, a French Army officer, came Nto the school. Barbier developed an alphabet code used by army soldiers. The code was used to deliver N messages to the soldiers at night. It was made up of dots and dashes. It kept the messages secret even if the enemy would see them, but the code was too complicated for the blind. Louis thought the code was slow and the dashes took up too much space. Only one or two sentences fit on a page. ? NEXT Text A 8 Over the next three years, Louis worked to simplifyNthe code. On a vacation at home, Louis, age 15, picked up a blunt awl. Aha! An idea came to him. He made the alphabet using only six dots. Different dots were raised for different letters. Later, he made a system for numbers and music. ? NEXT Text A 9 Today, Braille is in nearly every language around the world. Louis Braille, at age 15, changed the lives of blind N people when he created the six-dot Braille system. It is fitting that January 4, Louis’s birthday, is considered Braille Day, in honor of the blind. (454 words) NEXT 1) Who was Louis Braille?
