Read the story of Braille. Do young people
today still use it?
Blind people
have restricted or no
sight. They depend on
their other senses in order
to live independently.
They use their sense of
touch to read Braille. A
form of Braille was used by Napoleon’s soldiers so
that they could communicate silently at night. But
it was a French teenager called Louis Braille who
developed the idea so blind people could use it. These
days, however, young people prefer using electronic
screen readers so that they don’t have to use Braille.
