writer was going to say, and then use the information to write a paragraph. Use
complete sentences instead of fragments and run-on sentences. Add any words
that you need to make the paragraph understandable. Use a separate piece of
paper, if nexessary.

dots. Each Braille page has words written on both sides of the paper, dots on

of writing for the blind. Named after Louis Braille.
