Braille Bug Web Quest!


Annie Sullivan taught Helen to understand words with by writing the letters into Helen’s hands. But if that were the only way for Helen to understand words, imagine how difficult it would be for her to read and write.

Fortunately for Helen, a young boy (not much older than you), named Louis Braille, invented a way for blind people to read and write.

Today, you're going to work in partners to complete a fun Web Quest and learn all about this incredible young man and the invention that changed the lives of blind people forever!

To start the Web Quest, you'll need to have one of you click on the Web Quest link below. Once there, enter BOTH of your names into the name box, and begin. The other person needs to click on the Braille Bug link below. Work together to follow the directions on the Web Quest, find the answers on Braille Bug, and answer the questions.

Once you're finished, you'll get to play some fun Braille games! Have fun!!
