Learn braille letters
Children explore the six-dot braille cell, learn which dots represent each letter, and connect the tactile patterns to letters of the alphabet.
Braille learning, one dot at a time
Inside the Bright Sparkle Academy app, children can learn braille letters, hear them spoken aloud in English or Spanish, and practice through playful activities.
What children do in braille lessons
Hear letters and words
The app can speak a letter or word aloud, in English or Spanish, so children connect braille patterns with spoken language in either language.
Practice through activities
Children match braille patterns to letters, identify words, and complete learning challenges with audio feedback.
Meet the six-dot cell
Every braille letter is made from up to six raised dots, arranged in two columns of three. Here are the first few letters of the alphabet:
A
B
C
D
These pictures show the dot patterns on screen; they aren't a substitute for real tactile braille materials.
