I was starting to think reading braille wasn't going to be that hard because once I memorized the formation of the dots and punctuation, reading it wasn't so bad. Now its time to add in contractions. Contractions are groups of letters that appear so often in print that they are represented by a letter(s) or special symbol in braille. It's like short hand. Here are some common words that are contracted in braille: AND, FOR, THE, WITH, BUT, and CAN.
I haven't started to practice reading braille with contractions added in but I'm guessing its going to be more of a challenge.
