Don't forget! If you use a set of language accent marks it is helpful to
the braille reader to include a special symbols page containing all the
marks used. You can't assume that the students will know for sure what
these marks represent. I also found it helpful to some students and
teachers to include a print special symbols page naming the different
accent marks and the braille dots that compose them. This can help
teachers untangle any confusion that students encounter.
In the case of a book containing just a few foreign words, it is still
appropriate to use the generic accent mark (dot four) and to write the
words in uncontracted braille. If this approach is used, be sure to
include it on a special symbols page.
