BrailleBuzz
BrailleBuzz is an instructional tool for young braille learners ages two to five. It encourages practice with braille characters and phonics, similar to a variety of audio-based toys that teach print writing.
BrailleBuzz resembles a cartoon bumblebee, encouraging little ones with audio feedback. A friendly recorded human voice and fun sounds are paired with a Perkins-style braille keyboard, designed with little hands in mind.
Three Modes of Play– Phonics Mode: fun sound and letter associations are made.– Keyboard Mode: all key combinations are announced with dot numbers.– Letters Mode: dot number announcement reinforces the relationship between reading letters and writing on the keyboard.
Requires 2 AA alkaline batteries (not included). Rechargeable batteries not recommended.
