Hi Roger,
Me too, and I discourage it when I see it, but ultimately we can't dictate how
teachers deliver their lessons. I'd say it should be pretty obvious from the
pace alone that it's not suitable as a teaching tool for any beginner touch
reader, let alone children!

But I know of some children in both Australia and the UK who learned with this
course.

All of the exercises in the UEB Australian Training Manual only
contain words where the contractions are those already learnt.
The ethos is that at no point is uncontracted combined with contracted
as this course is about learning the rules rather than learning to read.
The structure of the Training Manual was based (with permission) on
the UK Primer and is designed for adults to learn the rules of UEB
with the view to becoming transcribers or proofreaders. The UEB online
course available from RIDBC in Australia is based on the Training Manual.
This course is not designed for teaching braille to children.

I was surprised to see that neither the UEB Australian Training Manual
nor Ozzie Dots nor Building on Patterns were available whilst there
are other courses that no longer seem to be available. I'm not asking
for these, just commenting.
