George, I am aware of this. I would also like to see similar development
for the Patterns series from APH. IN fact, I talked with Eleanor Pester
about this last fall. I would encourage everyone to contact APH if they
would also be interested in this.

Hi,
On the subject of contractions, how many of you are aware that DBT supports
three formal braille learning courses?
Two from the United States, and one from the United Kingdom.
Within DBT, these take the form of graduated tables equating to the various
stages of the respective braille learning course.
Therefore you can take any text you like, and translate it in DBT to the
level of braille a person is at on the relevant course. This potentially
means an easier introduction for new braille readers since they can be
provided with all their braille reading material at any given level for as
long as required.
The three courses are as follows, but you should contact the relative
organisations for the actual training material.
1) The "Instruction Manual for Braille Transcribers," which is a publication
of the Library of Congress, National Library Service for the Blind and
Physically Handicapped (NLS).
2) The "Clusters" series developed by the Texas School for the Blind and
Visually Impaired (TSBVI).
3) The "Fingerprint" braille learning course, designed by the late Nigel
Berry, now supplied by the Royal National Institute for the Blind in the
United Kingdom.
