What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 17, 2026
This is a kit of braille trade books from the Rigby PM Platinum Edition series, written in Unified English Braille (UEB) with contractions, meaning braille's shortened letter combinations. It gives young students who read braille a set of early-reader books to practice with. Before ordering, confirm the number of titles and the reading level with the seller. The product name says contracted braille, but the web address says uncontracted, so check which version you are getting. Because the books assume the child already reads contracted braille, they work best for students who have started learning those contractions.
